Claymont Business Program
Claymont Business Program
Bell to Bell Banter, made up of four Claymont business students, created a podcast to share their perspective and have meaningful conversations. In this podcast, they discuss anything from regular life as a teenager, to more complex subjects, such as buying a home and investing. In order to be profitable, they have been selling advertising space on the show. They will be competing against 20 other schools in the annual Junior Achievement Company Program Expo on April 22nd, and will be the only team from Tuscarawas County. If you would like to check out their podcast, please check out the QR code to take you to our Spotify account.
