Bismarck, N.D. (AP) A North Dakota elementary school is teaching its students how to prepare for entering the workforce.
Fourth- and fifth-grade students at Lincoln Elementary School are able to apply and interview for age-appropriate jobs at the school. Students have signed up for positions such as box top manager, lost and found manager, morning recess helper, morning library helper and new student tour guide.
The purpose is to give students the opportunity to feel more connected to their school.
Most of the participating students work morning shifts three times a week, but the school tries to be flexible with students and their schedules. Nearly 30 students currently hold jobs at the school, and many are still applying.
The school's student job project began in September.
