Photo Friday - Organic Chocolate & the Whole Planet program

Students in the Thriving Minds after-school program at Long Middle School partnered with Whole Foods Market Lakewood to make and sell their own line of organic gourmet chocolate treats. Whole Foods supplied the teens with organic chocolate, nuts and dried fruit in order to teach students about micro-lending and to raise funds for, and awareness about their Whole Planet program. The teens learned about entrepreneurship and developed their own company name (The Chocolate Tree) and logo.
