Last week, we asked you what our best selling item in the store was during the school year. The answer: our bracelets with well-over 300 sold!

These economical choices filled the bags of many of our students coming through our shop. We even gift-wrapped a few for students looking to buy items for family members!

Don't worry, they didn't clear us out! You can get your very own beaded or memory wire bracelets for $3.99 and $2.99 each, respectively!
