Our school store will be open a couple days each month during all lunches. Check the calendar for dates and send your students with some money. Items range from $.05-$5 and include pencils and other school supplies as well as slime, bouncy balls and other fun little toys.  

The students continue to be excited to shop at our school store. But, we can't operate without your support, please consider volunteering for a shift or two throughout the school year.
