School Store Project

Funded Sep 9, 2023

Thank you for supporting our school store project with the donation of an iPad. We have been working this school year to provide students with a hands-on learning opportunity where they are running a school spirit store offering t-shirts, hoodies, and hats. We set up a Square website so that we could take orders and payments online.

The iPad we received through Donors Choose has allowed us an extra element of flexibility in running a few pop-up shops after school, during parent-teacher conferences, and at sporting events. The iPad is used to enter orders and payment information.

A school-based enterprise makes the connections between classroom learning and real-world applications. Students learn by doing, gaining valuable skills in marketing, finance, entrepreneurship, and management.

We have some unrealized goals with this project and we are continuing our work on the project. It is our hope to have a retail management class next school year so that we can continue to grow the school store offerings and provide an even better learning opportunity for students.”

With gratitude,
