Wednesday evening, students from Chanute High School showcased their creativity, innovation, and entrepreneurial spirit as part of the Grow Neosho Youth Entrepreneurship Challenge! From creative product ideas to impressive business pitches, these young entrepreneurs showed just how bright our community’s future is.
A huge thank you to all the students who participated, the judges who volunteered their time, and the families and community members who came out to support them. Events like this remind us of the power of collaboration and the importance of investing in our youth. This event was a partnership between Southwind Extension District, Network Kansas, and Grow Neosho E-Community!
This event also marks the kickoff of our YEC season across the Southwind District! We look forward to continuing the momentum with upcoming events:
📍 St. Paul – December 4th
📍 Fort Scott – December 9th
📍 Allen County – March 5th
We’re proud to partner with Southwind Extension District, Network Kansas, and Grow Neosho E-Community to help foster the next generation of entrepreneurs. 🚀
Congratulations to all of our students—you represented your schools and community well! 💚
