We are excited to announce the opening of our "Tiger Team Store!"
Our Tiger Team Store is a student-run enterprise through our Business Management & Entrepreneurship class at IBHS. The class provides students the opportunity to learn the process of analyzing a business opportunity, preparing a business plan, determining feasibility by utilizing research, and developing an action plan to organize and successfully operate a business. From concept to reality, the team store students work hard to bring their ideas to life!
The Tiger Team Store will be at parent-teacher conferences tonight in the ES, all home basketball games this season, and pop-up stores throughout the district at events! If you have questions or would like to place an order, please email Ms.Courtney at lcourtney@ib327.com. We currently only accept cash or checks!
