FIELD TRIPS in Marketing Education Program –

This sheet goes with ALL courses listed.

 

For twenty-six years, Marketing Education students have been able to apply marketing theory learned in the classroom in various forms of DECA Competition.  Some are listed on the attached Signature sheet.  This year we will have weekly evening meetings for students and parents as well as community volunteers from business to gather and plan various activities and required fund raising.  Meeting dates will be posted soon.

 

 

The TauntonSchool District historically has covered a significant amount of the conference expenses.  That has included the following; membership, registration fees for District, State, National and Regional Conferences, and transportation. 

 

Students have traditionally had to pay for hotel expenses for overnight trips.

 

This year, we all face some very serious budget limitations and we are not sure how much of these DECA expenses will be covered by the School District.  We always have Fund Raising activities that students can participate in to offset their expenses.

“The Beat”  Short CLIPS of 1990’s cable TV show produced by Mr. Medeiros.  This gives me an opportunity to show students my own experience in Cable Access production with a show that was eventually seen weekly on cable systems in 154 Cities and Towns in Mass. & RI.  I’m able to discuss the marketing involved “selling” the show, and promoting it.
