School-to-Work Program Gives Students a Chance to Gain Job and Life Skills


SPRINGFIELD, Mo. -- Morganne Box and Ian Featherston like their jobs and the people they work with. They go to work each day confident they are doing something that benefits not only them but others as well.
The scrub-clad 19-year-olds are part of Springfield Public Schools' BASE program -- Business Associated Student Education -- at Ozarks Community Hospital.
Students with developmental disabilities get a positive educational experience from employees who say it is they, instead, who are blessed each day.
