Local second-year students start summer project
Vinmont, Alabama – Two students at Vanimont High School decide to make their own summer plans and start a business with the help of their teacher. Bryant Carbin and Brayden Denney started Good Ol' Boys Lawncare.
The students first consulted their teacher, technology coach Mindy Conquest, about the proper steps to take in running a business, from advertising to the uniforms they wear.

Educators thoroughly explained to the boys several aspects of working on such a big project, including not only advertising and uniforms, but also work ethics, keeping customer information, organization and performance.
Mr. Conquest gave a powerful message to the boys: “You can't go back and create a first impression. You need to do everything to the best of your ability in anything that involves your name.”
In fact, Conquest said the trip will instill more than just a work ethic in students who become workers. Pride in one's work and desired results, as well as pride in oneself and one's accomplishments, are important prizes that students can take home, proving that education is not just achieved within the classroom.

“Don't get me wrong, you need not only the basics but also a variety of subjects to get a good education, but I think that high school education needs to be more tailored to students' interests and motivations. ” she says. “We (Cullman County Schools) are already doing a pretty good job on this. It makes my heart happy that the 10th graders are taking the initiative.”
