Open for Business: a New Student Store!

Help me give my students a point of sale system for the new student store.

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Peabody's classroom raised $587

This project is fully funded

My Project

Students need some Point of Sale equipment to help them successfully start their own student store. This student-run business will teach students what it takes to start their own businesses out in the world. The learning goal is for students to master the use of Point of Sale equipment including tracking sales and inventory. Students will maintain organization and records by running a student store.

This project will require a cash register system and a card reader.

An iPad will be able to connect to apps that help students track sales and inventory. The cash box will be needed to help keep the students organized. This student store will give students the confidence and knowledge they need to start their own business which will positively impact their families and community.
