Fashion Marketing . . . . . . . . . . . . Mr. Mark Stevenson & Mrs. Tracy Misner

Activities

The fashion students manage and operate a school clothing store called "The Thrifty Image." They learn selling skills, merchandising skills and management of a small business. The proceeds from the clothing store went toward an overnight field trip to Miami. During the trip to Miami the class visited the Miami International Merchandise Mart, The Art Institute and Sawgrass Mills Factory Stores.

In addition to the clothing store the students have a visual display window in the school where they get hands on experience creating displays for local retailers. Local retailers work closely with students through an onthejob training program. Misty Meier, a fashion marketing student, said,"I think the fashion class is interesting and fun. Being able to actually run a store and have a display window makes learning easier."
