Happy to see a win to kick off my favorite high school sport season… 1 - 0… let’s keep it going! #TriadTogether

FBLA held a “Paint Your Pet” event/fundraiser last Friday! Rookie and veteran painters alike had a great time painting a keepsake of their animal best friends! This event was planned/organized by Riley for her competitive event. #TriadTogether

Marketing wrapped up a unit on logo principles and design so we got to play the logo game today! We learned a lot about general business knowledge & were shocked at some of the logos we knew but couldn’t quiiiiite remember! #TriadTogether

As I eagerly wait for high school basketball to start up, I figured I might as well check out how our 8th graders are doing… the future looks bright! #TriadTogether

When the whole network is down but you’re just starting the Branding chapter in marketing… that means trying to draw logos from memory! We all got some laughs from our (in)ability to draw logos like Dairy Queen, Arby’s, Toyota, and more! #TriadTogether

Here are a few other photos of the “every problem has a solution” project focused on the new product development process! #TriadTogether

Did you know every problem has a solution? Some solutions just haven’t been created yet. Marketing students had to go through the 6 steps of new product development to address a provided problem, setting, and target market! #TriadTogether

If you’ve been in my classroom lately, you likely have noticed many of the cartoon SWOT (strengths/weaknesses/opportunities/threats) analysis breakdown posters. Here are some in-progress pictures from marketing last week.. creativity paired WITH critical thinking! #TriadTogether

Marketing was treated to a visit from Lacy & Candice from Revity Credit Union! They spoke about branding importance, their jobs, and mascots (& development)! Lacy then stuck around to give a thorough breakdown on Credit for Consumer courses! #TriadTogether

Marketing students got a huge treat this past Friday - St. Louis Cardinals’ Director of Promotions came by to talk about her job. It was so interesting to see everything she is involved in (& making connections with content we are learning)! #TriadTogether

Always one of my favorite days in Consumer… shout out to Abby and her team from 1stMidAmerica Credit Union for running a budgeting simulation today! #TriadTogether

How about some more Gateway Grizzly theme ideas from my marketing students?! From golf to the 70s to mysteries and airplanes! #TriadTogether

Some more creative Gateway Grizzlies theme nights for Marketing today! Super creative - capitalizing on trends and even some incorporating props today! #TriadTogether

Today Marketing students pitched their idea for theme nights for the Gateway Grizzlies! From pregame activities to national anthem singers to the 1st pitch, 7th inning fun, and a postgame activity…plus promotional items and sponsorships.. they covered it all. #TriadTogether

Enjoyed watching the Freeburg Cross Country Invitational this past Saturday! Great runs! #TriadTogether

On this Pajama Day, students budgeted with beans - having to modify their allocations when various events happened #TriadTogether

Students vocalized answers to various interview questions today in Consumer. We all THINK we know what we will say in an interview - but saying answers *out loud* proves just how important good practice is! #TriadTogether

Now it’s time to recognize the creators of vending machines for teachers/students, young ladies, gym goers, and new moms! Love the incorporation of Marketing’s 4 Ps in each idea. #TriadTogether

Here are another four vending machine concepts - for outdoorsy folks, those who need to stay awake, fishermen, and pickleball players! #TriadTogether

We did the 4 Ps of marketing so that means… vending machine time! Unique projects were shared, including one for students, educators, golfers, and beach goers! #TriadTogether
