Everyone is invited to attend the final business pitch presentations for "TheOther40" Business Plan Competition:
12:30-3 p.m.
Today
Morris University Center, Mississippi-Illinois Rooms
"TheOther40" is a business plan competition open to all SIUE students, and gives students the opportunity to showcase their business ideas. The objective is to provide students with the resources, skills and incentives to launch their businesses. More than $10,000 in cash and in-kind support will be awarded to the top three students or student teams.
This final phase of the competition is the business pitch, which is a Shark Tank-like presentation of the entrants’ business plans to our judges, who will choose the top three based on each student's/student team's presentation, business plan and executive summary.

|
| |

|
Kindermusik classes offered inlcude:
"Sing & Play" 4-week class for 1 and 2 year olds
Get ready to sing, play and move with your little one in this high-energy music class designed for children under two years of age. This new Kindermusik curriculum focuses on your child's beginning movements to help build the muscles your baby needs to walk, vocal development to help nurture your child’s speaking and singing voice. With a mix of both parent-child joint activities and child-focused activities, you’ll be able to join right in on all the singing and dancing while also getting the chance to observe how your older baby or toddler learns on her own.
May theme: On the Town with Bear
Lace up your sneakers, we're going out on the town! We'll visit the city and see what there is to see, then head out into the country to check that out, too. Bear will, of course, go over the mountain and go a-yodeling, too. Come along! You never know what adventures you'll have when you're On the Town with Bear!
Tuition cost is $75 and is due by Monday, April 10 for May classes.
May class dates and times:
10 a.m. Thursday April 20, 27 and May 4 and 11
“Laugh & Learn” 4-week class for 2-4 year olds
Each week, we combine your preschooler’s natural love of music, storytelling, and imaginative play with age-appropriate activities that introduce early music concepts and foster independence, social and emotional skills, language growth and self-control. We also connect you with other parents who share in the wonder of parenting a preschooler.
May theme: Animals a-Dancing
Get ready for lots of ribbity-hopping, trumpety-stomping and oinkity-rolling! Animals a-Dancing uses the movements and sounds of frogs, elephants, and pigs to emphasize how many movements you can make with your body and how many sounds you can make with your voice. You will love moving every which way while singing the songs of our animal friends!
Tuition is $75 and is due by Monday, April 10 for May classes.
May class dates and times:
11 a.m. Thursday April 20, 27 and May 4, 11
