The Northampton Area High School School Store, the Konkrete Korner, now offers the option to purchase online.

Members of the community can access the school store's latest merchandise without having to visit during its regular hours of operation.

The merchandise had been displayed on the Konkrete Korner's website, but customers could not purchase it online until now. Access the store from the Northampton Area High School's site using the quick link on the left side of the home page. Or go directly to http://konkretekorner.weebly.com/.

The Konkrete Korner was founded in 2009 when the high school renovations provided space for a store aimed primarily at providing non-athletes with access to Konkrete Kids merchandise.

The school store has become successful over the years with the support of high school students, faculty, staff and the administration.

The new online store was created with the assistance of the high school administrative team and Tara Mrazik, marketing teacher and DECA advisor. Buyers can pay for merchandise using PayPal and either pick it up at the school or have it delivered for a fee.

The goal of this website is to make purchasing Northampton merchandise more convenient for the community and increase Konkrete Kid spirit. The high school is very enthusiastic about the website.

For more information, contact Tara Mrazik at mrazikt@nasdschools.org.
