Garcia Star Buck Store

Garcia Elementary opened their Star Buck store this week. Teachers passed out star bucks to students that were showing academic growth, completing all homework, and those that have improved their test scores. School Counselor Mrs. Swanigan had many toys that the students could buy. The store also taught them how to count money correctly and spend their money wisely. Go Toros!
