Why you should sign up for SPB:

Although many of the viewers of this blog are seniors, SPB is a class that should be looked into by anyone interested in the field of business and still has time to take it. 

The class is mostly comprised of Juniors and Seniors and allows students to get hands on experience in the business world. Hard working and self motivated students thrive in this class and will get the most out of it in the end. 

SPB is the third tier of the academy of entrepreneurship offered at Palmetto. Attending the first two business classes is preferable before taking this class, to provide a solid foundation and easy transition to a fast paced business oriented environment; however, surpassing this process may be an option to seniors who have been interviewed by Mrs.Exposito (the teacher of our class).

Personally, I can thank this class for teaching me how to negotiate with customers and vendors, helping improve my organization skills and learning how to delegate tasks and work with others. Because I am one of the CEOs of this business I have a wide overview of the company and the way it runs. I have learned from and worked on tasks from each department, growing myself as well as many aspects of our business.

SPB in a nutshell

Strictly Panther Business, better known as SPB is known for their PantherStrong products seen around Palmetto. Currently we have stickers, lanyards, and wristbands circulating our school and have many new products coming soon. SPB is a business run through Junior Achievement and takes place during 2nd period in room 205; however, our work doesn't stop there. Our team of 27 dedicates their time throughout our entire school day and after, to create and sell products along with growing our business.

Our class has a unique and exciting dynamic. We work in five main teams that work together to meet a common goal. Our class is very competitive and is mainly driven by the opportunity of bringing our stock value higher than years prior. These five teams consist of Production, Public Relations, Human Resources, Finance and Marketing as well as two CEOs and two CFOs.

Although our class is motivated by the idea of making a profit, we also are driven to make our community better. Twenty-Five percent of our profits are going to the Community Foundation of Pinecrest that will put the money back into our school. Knowing a quarter of every dollar we make goes back to our community makes this class more whole and rewarding in the end. Our class will be able to choose specifically where this money goes in our school whether it is for our athletic facilities or towards a smart board in one of our classrooms.  Last year SPB donated over 250 dollars to a charity of their choice and this year our goal is to beat that number.
