Helping Hands
All Helping Hands students will earn credit in Social Science
and Business through the operation of a student-maintained
business. Students learn how to plan, promote, create
and provide services to the community. They use
computers and other business machines and procedures to
conduct daily business transactions. Students learn public
relations skills and learn to work in a cooperative manner with
co-workers, supervisors, and customers. Grades are based on
classroom performance, record keeping, participation at the
worksite, attitude, and willingness to work. Since worksite
grades are based in part on daily participation, daily attendance
is important to student success.
