AR Store

Today I talked with Mrs. Deep about the AR store as well as helped her work the stand. The AR store hours are 7:30-8:00 in the morning. Also, students can come to the AR store during their recess and rotation time. The AR store is the busiest in the morning, but she is also very busy during the 1st graders rotation time. It’s a balancing act trying to work the AR store as well checking out books. The AR store includes many different school items that can be used in class. Some of the items are listed below:

Erasers
Pencils
Pencil Cases
Earbuds
Color pencils
Crayons
Rulers
Water bottles
Bouncing Balls for recess

The AR store helps to fund the AR parties for students who meet their AR goal (at least 10 points and an 80 average). The AR parties consist of either pizza, cupcakes, snow cones, or ice cream and soda. Mrs. Deep said that the AR store profits more than enough money to help with the parties. The companies that she purchases the items from are: TNT School Supply, GEDDES, Positive Promotion, Jones School Supply, and Oriental Trading. She announced that she uses many different suppliers because she ensures that she gets the supplies for the least amount of money possible. Most of these suppliers have the same items, but the prices are different.
