Bruno Esteves, Nickolas Reinhart, and Zane Marquette represented Van Buren at the Better Business Bureau’s Youth4Ethics event in Maumee in March. All three are part of Mr. Eric Heitkamp’s Applied Business class, and this experience will help them as they and the rest of the class manage The Armory, Van Buren's student store. The highlight of the event was the presentation by motivational speaker and podcaster Jamar Root. The focus of Root’s message was to encourage students that they could become anything they want to become if they work hard. Marquette added, “I’m having more gratitude because of what I heard, and the three of us agreed that we could bring that focus on gratitude back to our school.” We appreciate the Better Business Bureau providing this experience to support the growth of our students!
