Mustang Market:  New merchandise at the MUSTANG MARKET on September 20th. Students can shop at the student store between the morning bells from 8:45 to 9:10.

 

The MES MUSTANG MARKET is a time for 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. **There is some MES merchandise available such as MES Stickers, water bottles, hairbows and totes.  These items range from $3 to $20.
