Students from the 8th Grade Manufacturing and Design
class at Wilson Middle School sold their goods at the Carlisle Homecoming
game. Representatives from Herd Hoodies and Herd Blankets set up early
and greeted fans as they entered. All of the products sold were designed
and printed by the students in the Tech Ed classroom under the supervision of
Mr. Hvizdos. In addition to designing and printing, students learned
what it takes to start and run a small business. They conducted surveys,
shopped for the lowest prices, wrote business letters, developed invoices,
purchase orders, and did all of the marketing for their products.
