T-Shirts

Rationale: In order to finance the council's trip to Pierre, we needed to raise funds. The Pierre trip cost approximately $700. The cost to make a t-shirt depends on how many sold (e.g. larger amounts = lower cost to us). We made between $4-$5 for each t-shirt we sold. We marketed the t-shirts to the elementary school by sending out an informational memo to the staff with the order forms (memo explained who was selling the t-shirts and what the money would be used for) and by prompting the students to speak to their homerooms about the why we were selling the t-shirts. We sold 199 t-shirts. Every two days we took the t-shirt money and deposited into the Beresford Elementary Student Council account.

Time frame: We had our first student council meeting September 1, 2009. We wanted to get these shirts out the week of homecoming (10/1/2009). The students brainstormed ideas for the next meeting (9/8/2009) and we met with Michelle at Intense Graphics 9/9/2009 to finalize their design. Michelle needed about 2-3 weeks from the date the order was received to create 199 t-shirts.
