Friday brings the first shopping day at the Buzy Bobcat Store, this time giving students in third, fourth and fifth grades the chance to buy school supplies and items with Bobcat logos.
But while the shopping days are opportunities for students to replenish their supply boxes, they're also a chance for students to practice life skills.
The store, overseen by PTA volunteers, is staffed by helpful fifth-graders who are learning about customer service as they practice math skills by tallying shoppers' purchases, collecting money and making change. Meanwhile, shoppers are practicing their math and learning about budgeting and money management.
The Buzy Bobcat store is open 8:30 to 9 a.m. Friday in the LMC for children in third through fifth grades. Shoppers should enter through the main doors, and parents are welcome to tag along to guide their children.
Younger students will have their first shopping day on Oct. 1.
To help families get ready to shop, we've posted a list of available items and prices.
