Student Store
The Youth Challenge Academy Student Council will open a school store shortly after family day. The Student Council will be selling candy, crackers, popcorn, ice cream, knick-knacks, etc. All proceeds from the sale of items at the school store will benefit the Cadets and Student activities.
To prevent Cadets from having money on campus, we utilize a balance sheet system.
