~UPDATES~
               We have been working on the student store cabinet. We started painting the cabinet outline and we will continue to work on it. Also, we made copies of the surveys for the students to choose which snacks they like the best. The teachers passed them out and gave us the completed surveys. We tallied up the results, so now we know which snacks the students prefer.  We still need to work on getting donations for the student store and also we have to work on painting the rest of the wooden cabinet.
               We haven't received the list of food we can sell during school, so we are still waiting on that. Also, we haven't been told rather or not the fundraising request form was approved, so we are waiting on that. Next week we will try to have the wooden cabinet/student store all painted.

~ENGLISH STANDARDS~

                    This week we had to work on our student store proposal. We had to make it persuasive and informative. The proposal had to inform the reader why we want to have a student store on campus. We had to support our claim by talking about how students are thirsty or hungry after school, so the student store would be very helpful. Especially to those who are in sports and don't have the time to walk to the store just to buy a drink. The proposal had to be organized and easy to understand. We used valid information to calculate the budget for the cost of the snacks. Overall, the proposal had to be informative and precise.
