Most small business' rely on summer sales to get through the year and we rely heavily on seasonal staff.
I've noticed over the years that schools give little thought to the needs of local business,often scheduling activities on weekends and busy holidays.
We all happily support the schools when they seek donations for sports activities,after prom parties,school trips and many other requests.....wish they would work a little closer with the business community

In my school's town, there is a strong connection between businesses and student workers. The issue is that there is just so much time students have and, for most of them, the financial reward for sports, activities, and academic scholarships is greater than the money they can make in part-time jobs. Add to that the increased chances of getting into their chosen college(s) via the diversity offered by those activities, and it becomes a hard sell for students to work a lot.
