Casual Friday in CEO looked relaxed on the outside—but it was all hustle on the inside.

Sure, the dress code may have been relaxed today, but the energy was all business. We had thank-you notes to write (10 this week), research to do on 3 upcoming business visits/guest speakers we have next week, and like true professionals our students picked up their phones to call and confirm all the details with those businesses. Once the logistics were covered, we split into our groups to sharpen ideas for our class business—lots of creativity and collaboration flying around the room.

Of course, no great Friday starts without breakfast, and a buffet of the world’s healthiest (???) cereal gave us the fuel we needed to keep up the pace. 😂

To top it all off, it’s homecoming week for two of our schools, and three of our students are representing CEO on their homecoming courts. Congratulations to Collin Adams (Lebanon High School) and Grady Yoder & Alexus Zacheis (Mascoutah High School)! Your CEO family couldn’t be prouder. 👏
