This is the fourth school year during which three of the older Applied Studies Classes have participated in off-campus work experiences.
Students work for approximately three hours before returning to school.
The students stay in a work placement for a maximum of two years and then rotate to a new job. This year one group of students works at the Greater Pittsburgh Community Food Bank under the supervision of Ms. Banas and Mrs. Farrell. The work is labor intensive and demanding. The students move, sort, pack, bag, and label tons of food each week. A second group works at the Bartsch Greenhouses in North Hills with Mrs. Leech.
