Another reason for this activity is to expose students to different vocational opportunities. The students also visit Crocker's Family Super for the experience of locating items in the store from a list, purchasing the items, and paying the cashier for them. Tours are given by personnel from each department in the store for exposure to the duties of a cashier, sacker, store manager, and deli worker. Students also become familiar with businesses in their communities and what services are available to them. Scenarios are presented to the student, who decides which services could aid in solving the problem.
Vocational opportunities are important, but so is leisure time.
The library is a resource in the community available to everyone, but a student has to know how to find a book, video, or cassette he wants to borrow and how to check it out. Students are aided in this so that they may go to the library on their own time and make it an asset to them.
