Point of Sale Equipment for Emerging Entrepreneurs

Help me give my students the cash handling equipment to learn proper customer service techniques

FULLY FUNDED! Mr. Ricketts's classroom raised $478

This project is fully funded

My Project

My students have been eager to get this project off the ground since February. Now that we approaching the end of the school year, we are working on getting equipment ready to go for the launch of their business in the fall.

My students have been working extremely hard with their business plan and generating interest in what should be a unique experience here at our school.

By receiving this printer, students we be able to learn how to properly operate a point of sale system and money handling procedures for their student run business. This will help us have a simple process for the students, but teach them valuable money related skills.
