Entrepreneur Day Volunteers Needed

BURKE COUNTY MIDDLE SCHOOL 

Entrepreneur Day – December 15, 2026 

Dear Entrepreneur, 

Burke County Middle School is excited to host Entrepreneur Day on December 15, 2026, and  we are looking for local entrepreneurs and business owners who are willing to share their experiences  and knowledge with our students. 

We invite you to serve as a guest presenter and introduce students to the world of entrepreneurship.  Presenters will rotate through classrooms on three different halls, giving a brief 10–15-minute  presentation in each class. This will allow students to learn about different businesses, career  opportunities, and the steps involved in starting and managing a business. 

The event will take place from 7:30 a.m. to 11:15 a.m. The schedule is as follows: 

• 7:30–7:55 a.m.: Introductions, light refreshments, and room assignments • 8:00–8:45 a.m.: First presentations 

• 9:00–9:45 a.m.: Second hall presentations 

• 10:00–10:45 a.m.: Third hall presentations 

• 10:45–11:15 a.m.: Briefing and closing activities 

We encourage you to share your personal journey, including how you got started, challenges you have  faced, skills needed to succeed, and advice you would give young people who may want to become  entrepreneurs one day. We want our students to see how their interests, talents, creativity, and hard  work can lead to future opportunities. 

Your participation would help us provide students with meaningful, real-world learning experiences  and inspire them to think about their future goals.

Thank you for considering this opportunity to invest in our students and support career exploration at  Burke County Middle School. 

Sincerely, 

Shannon Flournoy
