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.
