The Hallway Card shop
 The First Year

Seven students in our emi class made a

presentation to the “bankers” to “apply”
for a loan to start the Hallway card shop.
A community business made and donated
our store sign to us.
 Year Two

One of our student council projects is to

give each student a card on their birthday.
(1,000 kids)
 The newer students in our class, The
(freshmen & sophomores), did a presentation
to the student council leadership class and we
became “business partners”.

They purchase the cards from the hallway

card shop now.
The principal donates the card stock, so our
main ongoing expenses are for print
cartridges and envelopes.

The second year the card shop made

approximately $400.00 profit. most went
into the business. the students got a small
pay check.
 Being part of the hallway card shop has allowed
students to travel and do two presentations, at TSP’s
summer institute and this past spring, in
Frankenmuth at the Michigan Transition Services
Association Conference.

Thank-you!
