Merchandise and Snacks (Corynne Cox)
As a freshman this year I have not had a chance to purchase snacks from the warehouse yet, but I have ordered a lot of merchandise. I have heard the Warrior Warehouse is a great, affordable place to buy snacks, treats, drinks, and more. 

Merchandise is a great thing to buy to support the school. It is priced affordably. You can buy sweaters, t-shirts, and hoodies. You can wear it to school spirit days and sporting events. I love supporting my school and wearing my school shirts. 

Ms. Krista Milligan, the marketing teacher and head of the Warrior Warehouse, said, “Nerd gummy clusters, Monsters, Sour Patch Watermelon, and Hot Fries” are the most purchased items since the Warrior Warehouse has opened.

Benefits of the Warrior Warehouse (Tristan Banks)
Since it’s my first year here at WGHS I haven't had a chance to visit the Warrior Warehouse, and/or experience it yet. Teachers give out warrior bucks to well-behaved students to celebrate their hard work. Students can spend their warrior bucks at the Warrior warehouse.

It is a good benefit to earn the warrior bucks because you don't have to worry about spending your personal money. I recently got warrior bucks for working hard in class. I haven't got a chance to spend it yet, but I'm excited to see the items they have. I also think the Warrior Warehouse is really cool because the setup is really fun and creative. Also another thing is that the Warrior Warehouse is better than the vending machines because they have a lot more snacks and they have school merch. Another benefit is that if a student doesn't have lunch or they don't want school lunch they can buy food at the warrior warehouse because it's really close to the lunch room. 

Some new items in the warrior warehouse Ms. Milligan states, “Alani energy drinks... we're working on Nutella Uncrustables.” But she wants to make sure that they have the stuff that other people want, so they're slowly adding new things at a time.

Sophia explains that the Warrior Warehouse has many pros to it, “Honestly, I wouldn't say there are many cons; I feel like there are more pros because the food is cheaper, and there's more variety and you can get shirts… it's pretty cool.”

Affordable and Convenient aspects of the Warrior Warehouse
Senior, Madeline Mills agrees the Warrior Warehouse is a great place to buy snacks that you can’t always get at the vending machines at school. “I'm excited for the Warrior Warehouse to open because I like buying snacks and stuff that I can't always get.”

Madeline believes the warehouse is very convenient. She states, “I would describe the WW easy, accessible, fair priced.”

Madeline agrees it can benefit students because it is an accessible place to buy affordable snacks and drink. “I think it can benefit students because it is similar to the vending machines here. It gives us more accessibility to buy snacks and drinks.”


At the Warrior Warehouse students can buy so many great treats, snacks, drinks, and merchandise at an amazing price. The Warehouse has awesome things to sell that you can’t always get at the vending machines around the school.
