Description
The Treasure Chest is a retail store at the heart of Creekside School. Students are able to purchase items in the store with tokens earned from their classroom re-enforcement systems. The store can be busy at times, but many opportunities are available for students to work on their pre-vocational retail skills with customers or behind the scenes.
The Creekside Café is located within the Treasure Chest and sells student-made drinks and food along with hosting classroom birthday parties and other classroom events. Staff and students are able to purchase items in the Café. This creates a great environment to practice pre-vocational restaurant and shopping skills.
