Through the school store experience students can use traditional currency to develop their financial literacy and learn the value of spending or saving. They also continue to follow the school expectations to get additional items. \r\n\r\nThe next step for the Longhorn School Store is to add student experiences. We hope to add experiences such as movie day with popcorn or hot chocolate. Additionally, we hope to add craft day and expand the student experiences for showing DRIVE at our school.
