Welcome to the School Store and KIDS Bank page. Here you'll find
out information about both services.
The
store hours are 8:15 to 8:25 on Monday, Wednesday, Thursday and
Friday. KIDS Bank operates on Tuesdays from 8:15 to 8:25. Both are
located across the hallway from the library. Items for sale in the
store range from $.05 to $1.00 and include supplies as pencils,
notebooks, erasers and some novelty items.
We need volunteers to help run the store. Time required
is from 8:10 to 8:30. Duties include displaying merchandise, making
change, closing up and making sure children find their way to class
at 8:25. If you are interested in helping, please contact the school
office and they will put you in contact with the PTA. Thanks!
KIDS Bank operates on Tuesday mornings from 8:10 to
8:25 and again in the afternoon. KIDS Bank gives students a great
opportunity to learn the value of saving money. It only takes one
dollar to open an account, and the minimum deposit is just twenty-five
cents. Each student receives a savings passbook to keep track of
his or her account. The account earns interest, which is posted
quarterly. Students may keep their accounts until they leave school
either by "graduating" to 6th grade or moving from KMES.
To open an account, just have your child bring in a completed account
signature card on any Tuesday morning. Signature cards may be picked
up whenever KIDS Bank is open, or in the school office. We hope
you will take advantage of this opportunity to enrich your child's
education.
