Student Spotlight On Tuesday, August 26, Year 13 Cardinal House student Donovan Bacon had the opportunity to explore his entrepreneurial goals with the guidance of Terrance Walker, owner of FYVE Established, a custom printing business located on Floyd Boulevard in Sioux City. Terrance dedicated several hours to mentoring Donovan—sharing insights on design software, ordering merchandise, and the process of printing and pressing custom decals. This real-world experience offered Donovan valuable skills as he works toward his dream of running his own custom apparel business. We extend our sincere appreciation to Terrance for supporting our students and helping cultivate future leaders and entrepreneurs. 📍 Community members can learn more by visiting FYVE Established to support this outstanding local business!
