Welcome Back Panthers! Join the PTA now to enter the Membership contest - details coming soon! Check out our $26.27 Challenge.
The Panther School Store will open starting:
Tuesday, September 8 for grades PK–2
Thursday, September 10 for grades 3–5
Hours: From the opening bell until 8:00 a.m.
Tuesdays: Grades PK–2
Thursdays: Grades 3–5
What We Sell: Fun school supplies and Panther spirit gear
Prices: $0.05–$5.00 (most items are $1 or less)
Payment: Cash only — small bills and coins are recommended.
This is not a fundraiser—it's a PTA-sponsored club where student members learn valuable skills in retail, customer service, and money management. Students shopping also practice budgeting, counting coins, and making smart spending choices. The PTA breaks even on the School Store.
