The Marketplace will be full of homemade products that the students designed, developed, and manufactured themselves. Everything from clothes, food, candles, first aid kits, and more. It was their entrepreneurial project to see how well they can do in business.

Tuesday, the group donated $250 to the Marimor Legacy Foundation to help with the building cost of the project. But the students have always been supporters of the project, even coming out to help assemble the playground next to Marimor School, which was dedicated in the fall of last year. Throughout the school year, they have been finding ways to raise money to help all Allen County kids have a special place to have fun.

Tuesday afternoon, the Lima Senior High’s DECA program presented a check of $250, which they have collected from various fundraisers for the All Ability Playgrounds of Allen County at the Marimor School. Corinne Piper from the Lima Host Lions Club was also at the meeting to present a grant for $98,427 from the Lions International for the playground. These generous donations will help build a playground for all people, including those with disabilities.

The DECA program held their annual breakfast to welcome the new junior member and install the new officers for the year. This year, around 70 students will be learning a variety of skills including leadership, civic consciousness, and real-world business skills. The program's business focus help prepare students for life after high school and any future careers they may be interested in.
