At first, people might question the value of running a school store, but their doubts fade once they see how it can create remarkable opportunities, such as funding local field trips or school events.
If your school doesn’t have a store, you’re missing out on valuable educational opportunities and potentially costing your school thousands of dollars.
So, why should you consider a school store?
Educational Benefits: A school store is more than just a retail outlet; it's a hands-on teaching tool. By involving students in managing the store, they gain practical experience in making change, calculating percentages, and develop crucial skills like leadership, teamwork, and entrepreneurship.
Efficient Fundraising: Forget about traditional fundraisers like wrapping paper sales or cookie dough. Selling popular and affordable items like pencils and erasers for just $0.25 or $0.30 can add up quickly. Schools have used their store profits to fund trips to Canada, equip teachers with iPads, and purchase new books for the library.
