The Story Store 3 Dollar Bill
Hot off the presses! The Story Store 3 Dollar Bill.
Starting Friday, October 28, students will be able to redeem their Cougar Paws at the Cougar Store to purchase these 3 Dollar Bills to be used at Story Store.
Story Store asked Matt LaFleur to create a 3 Dollar Bill and this is what he made. Matt is a wildly talented graphic artist – and father to Penelope in Mrs. Garcia’s 4th grade class. Thanks, Matt!
