It's taken months of hard work and planning, and today, November 20th, we held our very first round of staff car cleanings! When the brand new supplies, the students' excitement was contagious. Having those new tools instantly made them feel like \"real\" pros, which has dramatically boosted their confidence and sense of ownership in this business venture. \r\n\r\nThe demand from staff was unbelievable: we offered six initial appointments to faculty via email, and they were booked solid within ten minutes, followed by a flurry of emails asking when more slots would open! We are already seeing the rewards of entrepreneurship.\r\n\r\nThe detailing business is going to be a huge success, and the students are mastering customer service, quality control, and teamwork every day. This business isn't just about making money; it's our official entry for the state JAG competition this March, and we are confident we are going to win the business plan arena!","fullyFundedDate":1753592194473,"projectUrl":"project/my-students-are-starting-a-car-detailing/9495531/","projectTitle":"My Students Are Starting a Car Detailing Business on Campus!","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Booher","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp10091327_orig.jpg?crop=1963,1963,x0,y0&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1753365427682","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/10091327"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_60096","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":1148,"numTeachers":72,"percentFrplEligible":33,"percentAsian":1,"percentBlack":4,"percentWhite":54,"percentIndigenous":1,"percentLatinx":33,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"9 - 12","studentTeacherRatio":"15.9:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":false,"titleOne":false,"metroType":"URBAN","ncesMetroType":"CITY_LARGE"},"inStateSupporters":83.0,"schoolId":60096,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Shadow Mountain High School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Shadow Mountain High School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/arizona/paradise-valley-unified-school-district/shadow-mountain-high-school/60096"}
