AR STORE UPDATE

AR STORE UPDATE:
We had our first AR store of the year on Wednesday October 21st. Students were excited about cashing in their points. In order to come to the store, students must achieve their quarter goal. Once at the store, they have the opportunity to purchase items from two different tables of varying values. They also have a chance to put their names in for one of four raffles in which other items may be won. All who attended this quarter seemed to be happy with their purchases. Those who could not attend this quarter are going to read, read, read so that they may attend next quarter. Our next AR store will be after Christmas!
It can become quite costly to stock the AR store with different items throughout the year. This year, in particular, we are working without a budget so any donations are greatly needed and appreciated. We have some stock from last year, but clearly not enough to offer enough variety for the next three quarters. Snacks are a favorite of the students. ( Chips, candy, etc.) If you can send any snack items in they would definitely be used. We also could use other novelty items that students of all ages would like. We prefer new items still in packages that you might be able to find at clearance sales, dollar stores, etc. However, we are also willing to accept gently used items that might still be in original packaging, etc. If you have access to items such as movie coupons, etc. those would also be appreciated. It is always amazing to see what students choose! Just when you think you know what they like, they will choose something you never would have guessed they would like! Thanks for your support. If you could see the excitement on the faces of the children who cash in their points you would know that any donations will make a difference!
