History
Previously, the Activities Office took on the task of ordering and selling merchandise to students and community members. The opportunity for the Advanced Business II Class to make this into a school-based business arose.
The Advanced Business II Class of 2008 did a lot of behind the scenes work in order for the store to be operational. They created a business plan, outlined employee qualifications and duties, underwent job interviewing for the management positions, did marketing research through school-wide surveys, brainstormed ideas, narrowed down the store name, all while learning basic business principle and management concepts.
The mission of The Braves Store is to provide
easy access to team spirit apparel and
accessories to San Carlos Brave fans
Core
values:
"To see things through the eyes of the customer."
"To create ease of shopping."
"To do things a little bit better."
"To not be the biggest, but the best."
"To be the center of Braves Team Spirit"
Independent Study
All of the inventory control, accounting aspects, marketing, web page creation, ad campaigns, selling of merchandise during school hours and new products are in the students hands. They also commit additional time outside of school to sell merchandise to raise funds.
Our Goal
As school spirit and community pride increases, it is The Braves Store's goal to grow as a school based business. The Business Department is anticipating student interest in the store and hope to keep the tradition growing for future Advanced Business II students.
Sponsors
None of this would be possible without the help of our sponsors. If you are interested in sponsoring the Advanced Business II students please contact Mrs. Barnes schs_business@yahoo.com
