On Friday, December 1st, North Point Academy students involved in the Jobs for America's graduates program opened their when-in-need thrift store. The store sits just behind the school and is entirely owned and operated by the students. All profits go directly back to the school and any donations are welcome. This is a complete student led. This is a part of the JAG class were to teach employability skills. So we've set up this thrift store for the students to get some employability skills. We operate off donations. They're learning also people skills, learning to deal with the public. So yeah, there's just a whole lot of things that the kids can learn, you know, from operating this store. It's a great place to come do your Christmas shopping. You get some good stuff, get it really cheap, and make somebody happy for Christmas. As well as yourself, save yourself some money. Make yourself feel better. Working in the store gives students real-world experiences such as counting inventory and interacting with the public. They believe adding work hours into their curriculum is a big benefit. Oh, preparing for it was definitely a little bit chaotic at Tom's because we had so much stuff and we didn't really have a plan. It was just kind of overwhelming because at first it was all just sitting on the ground and we had to find spots for it and we decorated some trees. We have put a lot of effort into our store, but it feels very rewarding to have people come in and be able to buy stuff, you know. This is kind of like the point of JAG, Jobs for America's graduates. Rick, it's getting us ready for the real world, getting a job and stuff like that. So it's kind of like I'm already getting some experience before I have to go out and do work.
