Junior achievement students promote shirt sales supporting the troops

Published: October 1, 2008

junior After last year’s record-breaking sales, Junior Achievementstudents are looking to sell just as many t-shirts this year.

“How well our [J.A.] company promotes the shirts will depend on how well they will sell,” J.A. teacher Melissa Trochim said. “I also think that it’s a different design from the normal black and gold wear.”

The design will be a ‘support our troops’ version of last year’s Breast Cancer Awareness. Students voted on what would be sold. Option two was a ‘going green’ theme.
“I think a lot of people are big into ‘support our troops’,” junior J.A. student Dylan Smith said.

Students are expecting to sell to 10 percent of the student body population. To do that, they wanted to sell something that was close to home.
“Students here at North [would buy the shirts because] have family and/or friends in the armed forces,” Trochim said.
