What is the Mercantile about? This program helps Mac-Hi students with disabilities find job training in and out of school.
They make and sell goods such as cookies, candy, and coffee, which you can find in the cafeteria every morning before school. The price for the cookies is .50, and the coffee is one dollar for plain, $1.25 with flavoring for small, $1.75 for a large plain, and $2.00 with flavoring for large.
Some of the students who help in this program are Alex, Ana, Francisco, Angie, Kayley, and Josh. These students have been working really hard to make this program successful. Some of the jobs they do are go to the preschool and help in the cafeteria at Central Middle School and McLoughlin High School.
Students also get paid for the time they work once every two weeks. The money that they make goes towards buying new supplies and saving up for the field trip to Portland for students that provides an opportunity for these hardworking students to be included.
Thanks to Mrs. Greer and Lisa. This program has been a great opportunity for these students.
