Business Project Update

Great news! We will be receiving the $300 subsidy for our business project! Miss Cichosz received an e-mail from Imagineaction (a social justice program of the Canadian Teachers' Federation) that included our notification and the rules of the subsidy, such as needing to post receipts of our purchases and updates about our project on the Imagineaction website.

Ms. Smith came to visit our first week back from Spring Break and worked mainly with our Sales and Marketing Team while Miss Cichosz checked in with all the other teams. Even though we had a smaller group because some students were away for the Divisional Science Fair on Wednesday, we worked hard and accomplished quite a lot.

The Administration and Finance Team worked on our overall business plan by writing a description of our business and the charity we support (Manitoba Underdogs Rescue) and made room to include a brief description about the roles and plans for each team on chart paper as our first draft.

Our Refreshment Team made a list of potential snacks and drinks to serve at our Family Fun Night. They also worked on writing two letters, one to Pepsi and one to Old Dutch, requesting sponsorship through a donation of pop and chips to serve at our fundraiser. If there are any school/class community members who would like to sponsor our business by donating snacks, such as canned/individually bottled drinks, small bags of chips/pretzels/cookies (nut-free), or napkins made of recycled paper, we would greatly appreciate the help! Anyone interested can contact Miss Cichosz at mcichosz@sjsd.net

Our Emergency Team and Site Team worked together to make a map of the site for our Family Fun Night (the school gym and auditorium) which includes emergency exits.

Our Entertainment Team worked on a list of activities/games for our Family Fun Night, and talked about which room to use for each activity.

Our Sales and Marketing Team made an impressive rough draft of our first poster to promote our Family Fun Night and they are working on the final copy. They also made a list of potential company names and we had a vote as a whole class. The name of our business is....drum roll, please.....Paws of the Future!

Please, check back again soon for another business update! And remember to save the date on May 5th (3:40 - 5:10 p.m.) for our Family Fun Night! We will be selling tickets soon!
