Kindergarten students have been earning pennies at school as an incentive for positive behavior (being kind, helpful, empathetic, compassionate, etc.). Thanks to our amazing community members who donated numerous items, the Kindergarten team was able to set up a store for students. On Thursday, the store was set up and students were able to do a walk-through preview. On Friday, they were able to shop! Not only was it a great incentive for the kids, but they also had to use their math skills in considering items to buy and how much each one cost. They really enjoyed it!

There is only one quarter left of the 2024-25 school year!
