Russ’ Raves
With the snow beginning to fall, please remind your students who drive to school to be safe and get up a little bit early to clear the frost and snow from the vehicles so they reach school safely on time. If your student(s) do miss school, please remind them to speak with their teachers immediately upon their return to get any missing work from when they were gone. Please remember that all tardy calls must be made by 7:40 in order to excuse your student late to 1
st hour.
Our students are working very hard and please keep encouraging them to do their best, and get plenty of rest with the cold/flu season upon us.
Go Spartans!!!!!!!!!!!

Two Marketing courses are being offered this semester. In the introductory course, Principles of Marketing, the students learn the 4 P’s of marketing, are introduced to the Spartan Stoppe, and are prepared for the world of sales. This class is currently working on Marketing Math along with competing in the DECA Idea Challenge, which involves creating a new product by using rubber bands!
The other course offered is Retail Marketing. This course is design to give the student the skills to run a retail store – The Spartan Stoppe. We are lucky this year to have Julie Burke, owner of Lizzy’s and Urban Nest, helping the students. She has graciously given her time and business knowledge to help the students create promotions for the Spartan Stoppe.
Next semester, marketing course offerings will include Sports & Entertainment Marketing as well as Marketing, Management & Entrepreneurship.
As of this year, all the Marketing Courses are transcripted with Western Technical College. Here is a listing of the courses at Sparta and what they are at Western:
Intro to Marketing & Sales – Principles of Sales
Retail Marketing & Customer Service – Quality Customer Service
Advanced Marketing & Professionalism – Professionalism and Success
Sports & Entertainment Marketing – Principles of Marketing
Marketing, Management & Entrepreneurship - Intro to Business
By taking these courses at Sparta High, a student could have 15 credits in the Marketing Sales degree at Western. Marketing is a needed skill in every career!
