Dear Fourth and Fifth Grade Parents,

Attached is a form for your child(ren) to participate in our TREP$ program.  Prior to Covid we ran this program annually and are so excited to have it back!

TREP$ Registration and Information Form

Since it has been a few years and our families may be unfamiliar, we just wanted to explain what it is. Treps Ed, LLC is a learning program that provides a comprehensive project-based entrepreneurship curriculum, and provides fundamentals for our children to create their own unique businesses.

Children that sign up meet on the days and times outlined in the registration form (mostly after school with the exception of the marketplace), with our dedicated instructor Mrs. Otte as well as parent volunteers. Each workshop focuses on a different aspect of entrepreneurship which leads up to our kids hosting a marketplace to sell their items to our larger community. 

If you have any specific questions, please feel free to contact Mrs. Otte (linda.otte@montville.net or Staci Handler (staciahandler@gmail.com) 

We are so excited to be able to provide TREP$ for our fourth and fifth graders once again. We hope to see them there!
