We also believe that if we have a school store, our school will have more money to buy things such as more school supplies for math, gym, science, etc., as well as investing the money into school events. As part of this project, we will also pay for supplies to get the school store started and to create an after school merchandise club.\n\nThe problem we are trying to address is that they’re posters all around the school for school merch, but most students don't know where to go to buy merch, therefore we need a school store in the school so it is easier for kids to support our school. We know it’s a problem because school stores make a significant contribution to kids' education. Having kids working in your store will allow them to learn valuable skills like math, budgeting, accounting, sales, marketing, critical thinking, socializing, empathy, and so much more. Our proposed solution is to buy materials and create a physical store where kids and school staff can go in order to purchase school merch and accessories. We can also invest in a school store website for those who don't attend the school but still wish to support us.; The people who would benefit are the school, students, staff and even parents. Students, staff, and parents can buy merchandise in order to support and represent our school and even our sport teams while the school can use the extra money to fund school trips and other fun activities.\n\nBudget: $7,000"]
