MUSTANG MARKET
Students can shop at the student store between the morning bells from 8:45 to 9:10 AM next Friday.
The MES MUSTANG MARKET is a store for the students to shop and purchase (CASH ONLY) items such as pencils, erasers, pencil sharpeners, and pencil boxes. Students can stop by the cafeteria from 8:45 to 9:10 to check out the items in the store. It is a great opportunity to practice money counting skills. Items cost between $0.25 to $2.00. The store is hosted by the PTA and the student leaders help shoppers pick out items, count their money and pay for their items.
