Today is the day we open our student store. We have our snacks ready, our cabinet done and were ready to sell after school. On Tuesday we got our snacks brought in by Mrs. Patty. She helped us by buying our snacks and bringing it to us on Tuesday. That same day we agreed on opening the store on Friday. We created poster and set them up on our campus so that students would know when we were opening. Also we talked to Mrs. Pilcher and had a quick meeting with her discussing prices for our snacks and the profit we were going to make. She gave us a good idea of having a binder with charts keeping track of how many things we sold that day and everyday we have our student store open. Mathew and David have also been helping us make a sign saying "Store" for our student store. The sign will be ready and put up by the end of the day. We hope that our student store becomes a success.
