First Grade Market was a HUGE success!

Mrs. Manroe’s and Mrs. Petersen’s first grade classes have been learning about the differences between goods and services and those who provide them. On March 9th they held a market in the Media Center to celebrate the end of the unit. Students, staff and parents had the opportunity to purchase items for $1.00 each. First graders had been preparing for weeks for the big day by making items to sell including picture frames, bead necklaces, and snow globes.

Beautiful bead necklaces and bracelets were a popular item at the first grade market.

Students also learned a lesson about supply and demand as some items sold out within the first hour of the market.

The market earned $381.00 which will be donated to YESS (Youth Emergency Services and Shelter), The ARL (Animal Rescue League, and Moore  Elementary to purchases supplies for first grade.

We are all very proud of our first graders and the hard work they put into making the First Grade Market a success. Job well done, first grade!
