Tiffany McLean first hour students have been putting in the hard work to expand offerings at The Magic Bean coffee shop they operate by the PHS Library, and meet the growing demand of customers. Friday they offered free taste testing of one of their new Italian sodas. McClean's students garner life and employability skills working in the shop. They pitch ideas of what to offer, and assist with inventory and purchasing, making drinks, delivering to customers in their first hour, and also learn about money. During first hour students and staff can order hot or cold plain or flavored coffees, lattes, teas or Italian sodas. In addition, McClean's students will also soon be selling holiday craft items they have been making in other classes. Proceeds from the store help pay for McClean's students to take field trips.
