  Kindergartners collaborate to create their own shoe store, learning about economics and empathy. Throughout the process, the project incorporates math (counting, sorting, tallying and graphing), social studies (alike and different), economics (goods vs. services, buying/selling, supply/demand) and responsible citizenship (developing empathy for others and understanding community needs). Proceeds from their shoe sales are donated to United Methodist Family Services so that the organization can purchase new shoes for foster children.

• Middle School

The goals of the Darr-Davis Investment Club are to increase the amount of money in the Darr-Davis fund and fairly distribute the money between non-athletic and non-social clubs.
