(KNOP) -Students in the NPHS Entrepreneurship course are turning classroom lessons into real-world experience through “Paws &amp; Power,” a student-based enterprise open in the old activities office.Organizers say the store has a bigger goal than school stores at other buildings.Clare Bubak, a family and consumer science teacher, said proceeds go back to the class.“Proceeds go back to the class. The students are giving a start up fund, they have to reimburse that fund. They also earn scholarships for operating and working the store. Obviously they are learning the everyday operation of the store but then they have also been doing finances, inventory.. all sorts of things,” Bubak said.The store will double as a hub for Career and Technical Education while also selling treats, drinks and school merchandise.Students interviewed for business roles, met with the CTE department and picked out products. They handled every part of the Paws &amp; Power operation, including managing inventory, running the point-of-sale system, helping customers and tracking sales and profits.Bubak said this is the first year the class has opened the store.“I have had entrepreneurship classes the last couple of years but they were just doing small businesses throughout the store and then going around the school but this year was the first year we actually opened the store,” Bubak said.Organizers say a grant helps bring in specialized materials and resources so students can run the store at the highest level possible.The store is open to the community and students every day from 9:10 to 11 a.m. except Wednesdays. Organizers are working on opening after school hours and during activities as well.</div></body>
