Our original idea for the $200 project was holding holiday events for elementary school children. We would show movies in the gym, sell foods, and include donation boxes for Toys for Tots and other holiday charities. There would also be personal shoppers who could handle the responsibilities of others for a cost. We would only be paying for food preparation and maybe decorations. The issue with this is, what movies do we show? Brookline has many non-Christian families, and maybe they won't pay for their children to attend these events. The other problem was timing, we would need to have everything done before the holidays because no one will come and watch a Christmas movie in late January. The final issue was getting a space. I met several times with Ms. Keavney, but at BHS there are so many events, that actually getting a space is often times quite difficult. We would have liked to use the Shluntz gym, but it is constantly booked. All of these challenges seemed insurmountable in the short time we had, and thus we chose to go in a different direction.
We are selling BHS Class of 20** wristbands for Seniors and Freshmen. Hopefully, we are correct in saying that these groups have the host school spirit. Our wristbands are being shipped and we will begin selling them soon, but not until after Winter Break. I've notice a surge of school spirit related items being sold recently and am curious to find out where will we fit into this. Warrior stickers, water bottles, and other warrior paraphanelia are now being sold around school. Does this mean that people are more invested in paying for school spirit items, or are there a bunch of projects happening and the market will be split between the few students interested in buying these items. Does the new Spartan Warrior effect school spirit? I think that these questions can only be answered with time, and will use creative ways to make sure our product is sold out and we make a profit.
