🚶‍♂️🚶‍♀️Walk to School Day 🐾

🐾Wildcat Pop-up Store🐾

Each month, our students have the chance to shop at the Wildcat Pop-Up Store using the GRRR tickets they’ve earned. GRRR tickets are given to students to recognize and reinforce positive behavior and meeting our school expectations:

✨ Give Respect to Self

✨ Give Respect to Others

✨ Give Respect to our Surroundings

At the Pop-Up Store, items are priced at 1, 2, 4, or 10 tickets. Students may also purchase items with money (up to $5 maximum). The store is stocked with a variety of fun items such as 🍬small candies, 🍫 full-size candy bars, ✏️ scented pencils, ⭐ stickers, 🐻 squishies, 🎁 mystery grab bags, and more!

All money spent at the Pop-Up Store goes directly back to students. These funds help us restock the store and pay for student incentives at our Winter and Spring GRRR assemblies.

The Pop-Up Store is a fun way to celebrate our Wildcats for making great choices and showing respect every day!
