Below you'll find two projects from our Upper School Miree students that you can support by either purchasing a shirt or making a donation. Details for each project can be found below.
Altamont’s 6th grade math classes are taking part in an interdisciplinary project on running a nonprofit business. As part of the project, the 6th grade students are collaborating with Miree Center students, and using their Miree projects as inspiration. The 6th graders designed and are selling T-shirts to raise funds for the two Miree projects. As part of the interdisciplinary unit, the students have created t-shirt designs using a graphics design app, learned about sales and marketing from a local sales executive and Altamont's director of communications, collected and used information from a local t-shirt vendor to make decisions about pricing, and explored website design with a local software engineer.
