Granite Construction supports Whitehead student readers

          Granite Bucks Raffle winners 

Whitehead students earned "Granite bucks" throughout the first semester for the amount of time they spent reading at home. This week they each got to shop at the Granite Store here in school. Students got to use their bucks to buy items such as pencils, notebooks, balls, cars, dinosaurs, silly bands, stickers and t-shirts. Thank you to all of our adult volunteers who help our student readers make their Granite store purchases. There will be another Granite Store at the end of the 2nd semester. so encourage your child to read every day at home.


Students choose their purchases off an inventory list before their turn to shop.


Big decisions to make : spend all my bucks, or keep some for the spring ? 


Parent helpers support each student shopper.


Checking out with their new purchases.


The prizes start at a 1 and 2 buck price level and go up to 26 bucks. So no matter how bucks a student earns there is always something fun to buy.
