The School Spirit Store has been in existence for over 20 years.  It is a not-for-profit, self-sustaining “business” that uses the profits to buy more products to sell.  We sell mostly school supplies; pencils, erasers, sharpeners, etc. with some fun items thrown in such as key chains, bookmarks, and the occasional toy.  Items cost anywhere from $.05 to $1.25.  Most students don’t need more than a dollar or two to get what they want and we do not accept any bills over $10.00.

The store is run by 5th Grade students who go through a rigorous interview process at the beginning of the school year  that tests their personal skills and ability to handle money.  Currently there are 8 students who work at the store, which is open on Mondays and Wednesdays immediately after school for about 10-15 minutes. Located on the first floor by the 4th Grade/Middle staircase.

In recent years, some students have asked to sell items that they make for which they receive the profits with a percentage going to the school store.
