The Wildcat Market will be set up in the cafeteria for all students and staff to shop. 🛒
Shop ownership is open to students in Grades 3–8 only, but all students will be able to shop at their designated times throughout the day.
💵 Payment will be with real money, but shop owners may also choose to barter and trade!
Be on the lookout for advertisements as our student entrepreneurs start promoting their shops—and don’t forget to start saving your money now!
It’s going to be a fun and creative day for everyone!
