The Excellence Store is open!

Students purchase items at O'Neal's Excellence Store

The Excellence Store is officially in business!

On Friday, Edmund J. O’Neal Middle School of Excellence opened the doors to a store for students who earned the equivalent of school cash for meeting building-wide expectations to be safe, respectful and responsible.

The store will be open every Friday during O’Neal’s six lunch periods. Using their earnings, students can purchase items ranging from pencils and highlighters to Hacky Sack balls and squishy glowing frogs. They also can enter their tickets in a raffle for bigger-ticket items like gift cards and sports equipment.

The physical structure of The Excellence Store was designed and built by students in Albany High School’s construction technology program at Abrookin Career and Technical Center.
