Strike it rich
Students in Strike It Rich are in charge of the snack shop here at Project SEEK. They choose items to sell and market them. The snack shop sells a variety of items including popsicles, fruit snacks, water bottles, Oreos, string cheese, SunnyD, and so much more. The students also chose to sell non-food items that they designed and created themselves. So far they have made, marketed and sold duct tape book marks, magnets, picture frames and bracelets. Students can even buy a picture frame and Strike It Rich will take and print a picture of them to put in it. During the 30 minutes when the shop is open, students restock items, hand them to customers, and work as cashiers, all of which teach them many important skills. Keep up the good work students! :)
It was an exciting day in class on Tuesday, June 16th! Our business team was officially "in the black" after their first five days in business. We are cautiously excited, as we know there will be more expenses coming our way.
EXTENDED DAY PLANS....We will load a bus first thing tomorrow and get dropped off at the Lake State Credit Union in North Branch. We will be given a tour of the facility, including the vault, and learn about the different aspect of a financial institution.
At 10 A.M. we will be picked up and brought back to school for run the snack shop at 10:15 A.M. and hold our normal accounting session and business meeting.
Around 11:15 A.M. we will walk up to Pizza Pub for lunch. Please check out their website (www.mypizzapub.com) for pricing. I know they have a lunch pizza buffet that will be $4.22/student with no soda and $5.24/student with a soda (these prices include tax, but no tip).
After we eat, we will walk back to school and spend some time on th computers developing our sales spreadsheets and pie graphs. We will also be discussing our Open House products.
OPEN HOUSE PLANS...our 12 young entrepreneurs will be setting up their business to sell to our guests that night. We will be deciding on our extended day what products we will be adding to our menu. Check back to see what we will be offering.
