Juniors Lily Jones and Anika Thiyag selling products to senior Carley Cowart from the Media Center Market.

The school’s media center is now offering more than just books. A new student-run market has opened, giving students convenient access to everyday school essentials such as gum, Chromebook chargers, pens and more. Students have also launched an Instagram account to help promote the market and share new releases to the shop.

The market is available during lunches and study halls.

Freshman Madeleine McGuire is one of the students involved in volunteering to help out with the market.

“The Media Center Market is a place with all the necessities you need for school. It’s really helpful if you need anything. My favorite part is probably the fact that they have gum,” McGuire said.
