Topic > ANNUAL REPORT - 440

The production team is proud to announce that we have finally reached the end of the Junior Achievement year. This year has been full of trials and tribulations, ups and downs, and filled with many successes and failures. From our first meeting on September 18th to our last official meeting on April 28th, many of our goals have been exceeded with the vision of achieving higher results. Each quarter of the 2001-2002 junior achievement year had new obstacles to overcome. From the rush of our first quarter to the unexpected conclusion of the fourth quarter we never predicted the year would go by so quickly. For the first term of our Junior Achievement year, JA was a new experience for almost all students. It was in our first quarter that the production team was appointed, so without any delay we began brainstorming for the goods or services we could produce. After many different reviews on different items, we finally arrived at the scented and multi-colored gel pens. We then considered making custom business cards for high school students which turned out to be a bigger success than expected. Given the dramatic impact our products had on the market, our sales were aiming for the top spot on the list and we decided then and there that we wouldn't let anyone surpass us. When the second quarter began on November 6, the production team really turned around in a mess. Our Vice President at this time began to feel a little stressed about the junior achievement program and became fed up to the point where she decided to resign. All that remained was to replace it and make sure Full Hundred recovered and everything ran smoothly. With the new production team now elected, we tried our best to bring out new products for our second quarter so that our sales would remain at the top and no other company would surpass us. With Christmas just around the corner, we decided to use it as our main market and sell mainly Christmas items.
