Junior Achievement Does Halloween Business

Two members of the Junior Achievement Club at Staples High School presented First Selectman Gordon F. Joseloff with a candy-filled pumpkin, one of the products produced by their company named Klox (“always moving forward”). Pictured are Lindsey Runkel, 17, and Hayden Meinero, 17. The company, under the sponsorship of Westport’s Terex Corporation, sold almost 100 Halloween products and is working on hot chocolate kits as its next product. More than two dozen Staples students are involved in the company. They meet weekly with Terex executives who coach them on their business. (CLICK TO ENLARGE) Contributed photo
