This week, first grade explored how to earn an income by providing a service and selling crafts. Once money was earned, students had to make a choice of whether to spend it on a pack of Skittles or save up for a popsicle. This experience brought concepts we have been reading about to life.

Congratulations to our State Qualifiers!!!!! State shirts can be ordered online! This is a quick turnaround! Be sure to get yours and come support the Medford Cardinals @ the State Track Meet! https://medfordstatetrack2026.itemorder.com/shop/sale/
