Student Employment Teresa Shaw is straightening clothes while working at Heck’s. During the school year many students arc employed in various part-time jobs in the evenings after school, or on weekends. Working part-time helps the student gain experience that is needed when they take on full-time employment. The extra money that a student earns helps their parents with expenses that have risen so much in the last few years. It also encourages the student to handle their own money and spend it wisely. Sometimes it’s hard to get homework finished and study for tests, especially if you work long hours. Sophomore Melanie Snyder works Tuesdays and Thursdays at Beverly’s Restaurant. Meeting people and getting experience is what she likes most about her job. She dislikes the pay. Junior George Cassell is employed at the Garden Fresh.
