A good showing at the THS Merry Market. The Merry Market sale is a school based enterprise in which students who participate in special education programs make and sell their products - money received goes back into the program and community based opportunities for students.
Just a small sampling of the students at Cape Fear Elementary who wrapped up their science fair ahead of break. 🧪 Another example of the fun that can come along with learning. #PCSPride
