Carter High School administration has come to a creative decision to sell coupon books starting September 13th through September 30th. The coupon books will be beneficial for Carter High School, if we can get the students motivated to sell these books. The money that is raised will be deposited to replace old technology. The only way Carter High School will be able to accomplish this is by getting everyone involved. To put the situation into perspective one Mac computer costs $1200. For every book sold Carter High School will get to keep eight dollars. If each student at Carter sells at least three books at $10 a piece, the school is estimated to raise $20,952. Mr. O’Malley says “I have mentioned the coupon book selling to my HIVE, but I am not sure how many seem to be interested.” Some knowledge the student body may not have is that there are many incentives in selling the books. If a student sells two books, he or she will receive a universal homework pass. If a student sells five books, that student will receive a free entrance to one of our home football games. If a student sells ten books, they will be presented with a “Get Out of Silent Lunch” free card. If a student sells 15 or more books, the reward will be a universal sports pass that allows you to enter any home sporting events for free. The HIVE with the most sells will win a free pizza party for lunch one day. For each grade level the HIVE with the most sells will win a donut breakfast. Alexis Talley says, “The incentives are not necessarily something that makes me want to get involved in selling the coupon books. Maybe I would be more motivated to sell them if the prize became more valuable with the number of books sold.” Overall selling the books would be a great way to update Carter High School. The entire student body should get involved and look forward to the great incentives the administration has to offer.
