That's a wrap on the 25-26 school year!
This year was filled with growth, new opportunities, and milestones that exceeded our expectations. Thanks to the hard work of our student team and the incredible support of our community, we achieved:
π A 43% increase in sales from last year
ποΈ The launch of a remote in-person shopping location at Petal & Crumb
π Our largest order to date (475 shirts for the Missouri Association of School Librarians (MASL) Conference) making Tiger Express Apparel MO-wide!
π The establishment of the Tiger Express Apparel Scholarship
We want to recognize our graduating team members as they begin their next chapters:
Keiran has been part of Tiger Express Apparel since day one. Over the past three years, he has witnessed this student-managed business grow from an idea into a thriving school-based enterprise. He has helped shape our culture, supported countless projects, and played a key role in bringing the vision to life. He is the recipient of our inaugural Tiger Express Apparel Scholarship due to his investment in the program's success.
Chloe has also been an important part of our team, contributing her talents, dedication, and positive attitude throughout her time with Tiger Express Apparel. We are grateful for everything she has done and look forward to seeing all that she accomplishes in the future.
Tammymae was our third senior who graduated early in December, but was also a multi-year SBE member. Always willing to volunteer her time and talents, she played a crucial role as on our team!
While our team is enjoying a well-earned summer break, you can continue shopping our merchandise all summer long at Petal & Crumb, located at 120 E. Washington Street in St. James.
Thank you to everyone who supported Tiger Express Apparel this year. We have some new things in the works and weβll see you in the fall!
