RE: Statewide Entrepreneurship Student Competition Dear Kentucky Educator, The Clark Group and Kentucky Council on Economic Education are co-sponsoring a competition for
middle and high school students to learn about entrepreneurship — by investigating and profiling a local
business, past or present, and considering the effects of this enterprise on their community.
Our purpose is to help teach students what it is to be an entrepreneur, and to help them to discover
Kentucky’s proud history and tradition of innovation and inventiveness.
The first twenty teachers who register to participate will receive a free classroom set of ten Clark’s
Kentucky Almanac and Book of Facts (Premier Edition) plus a multimedia Kentucky Almanac CD-ROM
for the classroom or school library. Students will use the Kentucky Almanac to research community
history; they will find it to be an excellent resource for not only this but other projects as well. The
Kentucky Almanacs make a valuable addition to library and classroom reference materials.
Please join us in the first national celebration of Entrepreneurship Week! Contact me with any questions. I look forward to hearing back from you soon. Sincerely, Amanda Harris Marketing Specialist 859.233.7623 800.944.3995 Fax 859.233.7421 [email protected] P.S. More specific details and rules are outlined on the attached materials and at http://www.econ.org/programs/entrepreneurship.html and www.kyalmanac.com <http://www.kyalmanac.com>.

Research facts and/or interview your entrepreneur and create a profile of the entrepreneur and the business, its products or services. Include a community profile using Clark’s Kentucky Almanac and Book of Facts and other print or online resources. Describe why your chosen entrepreneur’s contributions are valuable to your community’s development in overcoming challenges or shaping and maximizing opportunities.
