Student Store Needs Your Help for
Next Year
Calling all Beaumont Parents: the Student Store needs your
help for next year. Want a fun way to be involved, a small time
commitment and an opportunity to be on the inside of Middle
School life for a glimpse of Who's Who? It's time for us to pass the
baton as our students are moving on to high school. Here are the
tasks: Buying products a few times a year, restocking the shelves,
selling items in the morning, and planning for staff needs. There
are several parents already willing to continue working in the store
a few days a week; we just need someone to lead the charge.The
store is open 5 days a week from 8:45 til' 9:05am. It is an easy job
and the kids love it, and the staff appreciates having this service
for students.There is an incentive program "Gotcha Dollars" in
place that students receive from staff to use at the store. If you
are interested please contact Dana Griggs 503.793.0782 or
griggsd@windermere.com
Many parents have truly enjoyed the quick time on the
inside of the school to get to know the kids.
