WORKING WITH PURPOSE
Carlie is one of our newer League School students, who has been trying on various jobs around campus. Here she is working at the Hawk's Nest, our school store. She practiced stocking shelves, waited on customers, and counted out plastic cutlery for classrooms. She is doing great and you can tell by her smile that she loves working!
