~STUDENT STORE UPDATE~
               One of the issues we were having with the student store was the location. Now that we have talked to Mr. K, we have a location and a storage room. We don't have to build the booth, because a wooden storage cabinet was provided for us. All we have to do is paint the cabinet and make it look really nice and presentable. We are going to do that with the help of our classmates. Also, in order to have a student store we have to fill out a fundraising paper and send it to the board, so they can approve it.
                  Another thing, we have to work on is getting donations and money for us to be able to buy the merchandise. We still have to ask Mr. K for the school tax code so we can receive money for the store. We still haven't decided whether the money should go to ASB or the senior account.

~CIVIC STANDARDS~

12.2. Students evaluate and take and defend positions on the limits of rights and obligations as
         democratic citizens, the relationship among them, and how they are secured.

                  As, students and citizens we have the right to freedom of speech in the classroom. We are able to voice are opinions and ideas. In the My Life Project, we are allowed to share our ideas and we are able to create the ideas, such as the skate park. One of our classmates had an idea to create a skate park in the community and we are all working together to make it happen. Another, project we are being allowed to express and make happen is the student store. We are working together to make a student store at our high school. During school we are allowed freedom of speech and if we weren't, we could do something about is, because by law that is our right as citizens.
