First Graders advance research and interview skills

Written by

As part of our all-school signature programming, first graders recently ventured into our Locust Valley neighborhood to visit a number of local businesses – from a pharmacy to a coffeehouse to a veterinary clinic. Following tours, students asked shop owners pre-prepared questions based on individual research to learn more about topics regarding inventory, customer strategy, and more.
