My Project

The specific items we are requesting, such as printers and materials, will significantly impact our students' learning experience by providing them with hands-on opportunities to engage in the entire process of designing and producing custom Bluejay spirit wear products. With these tools, students will have the chance to explore various design techniques, learn about production workflows, and gain practical experience in entrepreneurship and marketing. The addition of these materials will allow the student team to expand on their existing skills with sublimation products.

By actively participating in every step of the Jay custom process, students will develop invaluable skills in problem-solving, teamwork, and project management, setting them up for success in both their academic and professional lives.

Our goals for this project are multifaceted. First, we aim to foster a sense of school pride and unity by creating high-quality, customized spirit wear that resonates with our student body. Through these products, we hope to cultivate a strong sense of belonging and identity within our school community. Additionally, we see this project as an opportunity to generate funds to support various student initiatives and activities across the district. By leveraging student creativity and entrepreneurial spirit, we believe we can make a meaningful, positive impact on the experience of students within our district.

The team of students responsible for the current Jay custom products are elected as leaders from their student body. They have the ability to build capacity in others and are dedicated to reaching their goals to ultimately open up a physical location within our high school that will have on hand Bluejay products. They understand the power of school spirit and are dedicated to creating products highlighting our Bluejay pride for all students and our local community.
