Thank you Sgt. Dixon and Sgt. Kuykindall (National Guard Recruiters)for taking out time to come talk to our students about the military.

Sheffield Scholars really had a great time today on a Workplace Tour at Dave and Buster’s. The General Manager, Mr. James, did an excellent job of informing us of all the different jobs (server, busser, cook, customer service, dishwasher, front desk host, bartender, janitorial and games technician) at Dave and Buster’s. The majority of our students were interested in Winner’s Circle- Customer Service Postions and they actually have positions available right now. Mr. James instructed the students that were 18 how to go online and apply. The students had a fun day at Dave and Buster’s today!!

What an outstanding Workplace Tour at Walmart Supercenter! Ms. Kimberly and Ms. Precious gave an outstanding tour. They told the students about all the different jobs at Walmart and the great opportunities. Walmart has a program called “Live Better U” that allows students to attend college while working and they will pay 100% of tuition and books for certificates, degrees and more. While at Walmart our students were gifted treats by a special lady.

Cakin’ It With Cupcake Cutie
A wonderful business to do a workplace tour and the cupcakes were delicious!! Today, we learned how to make cupcakes and decorate them. The students decorated the cupcakes with a Halloween theme. Ms. Emeka Buck (owner) did in outstanding job of hosting the tour. Everyone was so surprised of all the job opportunities at a bakery.

College tour at LeMoyne Owen College today. The students really enjoyed the homecoming festivities and the STEAM experiments.

Preview Day at Tougaloo College during Fall Break. Students were given information about admission, financial aid, scholarships, housing, club organizations and athletics. We were also able to tour the campus, had a complimentary lunch with a free Greek Show.

Workplace Tour at Oak Court Mall
Students ventured from store to store learning about the different job opportunities throughout the mall. Several stores were hiring and some students took advantage of using the QR Code to fill out the application and some stores were still giving out paper applications. Our students were given a lot of job information on today and hopefully it will be put to use.

Sheffield at Tennessee State University (TSU).

What a sight to see? Yes, the Dixon Gallery and Gardens is a fine museum and public garden with innovative programs in the arts and horticulture. We truly enjoyed our visit and had a marvelous time making art.

This is how a few of Sheffield students spent their Saturday at East High School for AP Review Day.

Zach Borenstein (Employability Skills Instructor at TTC) visited our club on yesterday and the students were ecstatic. They played a game “Juggling My Life” that modeled how good communication and teamwork are important to managing responsibilities. He then had students to share their interest, what’s important to them and their future goals. In addition, Zach and the students wrote a song together about what is important to them and then they performed it.

Thank you Ms. Crystal Caulfield for the awesome tour of the Technical Training Center. Our students are very excited about starting job training for their future careers.

Our students took an Educational Field Trip to Crosstown Concourse where Hope Credit Union is located. Mr. Juan Carlos Yepez ( Financial Inclusion Officer) spoke to our students about how financial institutions operate and saving for the future.

It was great meeting with parents today to sign up more members for our club.

The Boys and Girls Club cheered Sheffield to victory on yesterday at the Volleyball Game against Craigmont.

Thank you Officer Coleman and Officer Evans for speaking with our students about conflict resolution.

Today, we enjoyed our field trip to East End Skating Center. Mr. Tim and Ms. Lisa did an exceptional job informing our students about the different jobs inside the skating center. The different jobs included: cashier, answering calls, scheduling the use of the skating center, providing skates to customers, tightening of the skates, preparing the skating surfaces, operating the snack bar, referees on the skating rink and custodians to maintain a clean center. The students now know the different positions at the skating center and the skill set needed to obtain one of those jobs.

It’s a great start to summer!

Here at the Sheffield club, students decide how they want their peers to behave

Get excited! Thursday we will be visiting Crosstown Concourse to learn about their apartments and participate in an activity to answer the burning question: “How much money do I need to make to live in a place like this?!”
