Briar Woods students are hard at work assisting teachers and running a new business. Last spring the class started a Briar Boost business. Briar Boosts are cards with a personalized message and snack that staff members can order for each other. Starting in December, the business will be open to students. The class prepares the cards by typing, printing, adding snacks, and delivering them to staff.
They've also been busy with a variety of school-based work experiences over the past quarter. As a way to gain new experiences, students have been working in the main office, cafeteria, classroom, and library. Some of the jobs include: delivering paper to workrooms, making copies, laminating, cutting, sorting and delivering materials, cutting letters with the Ellison die-cut machine, and hanging paper and borders for bulletin boards. Students are excited about these new opportunities and learning a lot of workplace readiness skills.
