Last year the 10th grade class took a field trip to Hang 10 in Tamarindo, they we were able to create our shirts that best represent what we want to connect; the school and world in one picture.
We still posses this shirts for man and girl, for customers to feel part of our school community and world. As the new 10 th grade class we seek to sell them all, for only 10, 000 colones or 20 dolars.
Five years ago the La Paz school store started as a way to provide healthy, affordable snacks to the students while maintaining La Paz values and allowing students to experience running a business firsthand.
Since our humble beginnings, each generation of 10th graders have worked to improve our facilities, diversify our products, and hone our management skills. All this hard work has brought us to where we are today, and we’re not even done! Next year the new entering tenth graders will inherit the store and the Snack Shack will continue to improve.
The website you’re visiting now is a new addition to the Snack Shack and we hope it sticks around! Here you will find our products and prices, important announcements from the store, and new blog posts like this one updating you on the happenings of our store.
And speaking of happenings, let’s start with a peek into how our business functions.
Each trimester, the class splits up into three teams: finance, marketing, and operations. Each team is responsible for a different function in the store. For example, operations orders products from each of our distributors; finance makes the purchase; and marketing advertises any new products that arrive in our store. Each team has two leaders responsible for delegating tasks and communicating with their teams, as well as our CEO who manages all teams and ensures we are operating smoothly. We create all procedures in the store and are always updating policies, so as you might expect, we are very open to suggestions!
We hope you enjoy this website and continue to support the Snack Shack as we work hard to make sure you’re a satisfied customer. Thank you for taking the time to get to know us, and we hope to see you soon!
