Scenes from ENTREPRENEURSHIP at St.Clair High School

St. Clair High SchoolThe Hallway Card shop

The First Year

Seven students in our emi class made a presentation to the “bankers” to “apply”for a loan to start the Hallway card shop.

A community business made and donated our store sign to us.

Year Two

One of our student council projects is to give each student a card on their birthday.

(1,000 kids)

The newer students in our class, The (freshmen & sophomores), did a presentation to the student council leadership class and we

became “business partners”.

They purchase the cards from the hallway card shop now.

The principal donates the card stock, so our main ongoing expenses are for print cartridges and envelopes.

The second year the card shop made approximately $400.00 profit. most went into the business. the students got a small pay check.

Being part of the hallway card shop has allowed students to travel and do two presentations, at TSP’ssummer institute and this past spring, in Frankenmuth at the Michigan Transition Services Association Conference.

Thank-you!
