MOULTRIE, Ga. — Seventh grade Packer X participated in a project in which groups of students endeavored to create their own businesses.  

The students were challenged to write a business plan, develop a prototype, and mass produce their products to be sold, according to a press release from Willie J. Williams Middle School. The project culminated in an Entrepreneur Fair where the students showcased their products to be sold to parents and the staff of WJW.
