Perry elementary students create business, donate funds to animal shelter Listen to the content of this post: PERRY, Georgia (41NBC/WMGT) – A Houston County Elementary School created a student-run business that resulted in a $1,000 donation to Friends of Perry Animal Shelter. First grade students in Victoria Mendoza’s class and students in Jessica LeBrun’s fifth grade classes at Tucker Elementary School in Perry learned entrepreneurship while working together to raise funds for a charity. They made and sold tissue paper flower grams for Valentine’s Day, naming the business “The Kissy Flower Shop.” The students designed the logo, practiced their sales pitches, learned how to make the flowers and then counted the orders.
