Arrowhead Union High School District school board members Bob Rosch and Al Zietlow have made generous donations in support of the newly developed student run business, "The U", at the Arrowhead High School south campus.

Earlier this year, Arrowhead South Campus added a new program to their lunchroom: the Arrowhead Student Union, more commonly known as "The U."  The U started as a way for students with special needs, particularly those with autism, to learn employment and communication skills. By running The U, students learn skills such as customer service, handling money, advertising, maintenance of business equipment, and pricing items to make a profit.

Through the games, the students learn social and communication skills by interacting with other Arrowhead students.  “The interaction of students provides an opportunity to learn leisure skills in a school setting,” said Ann Krueger, special education teacher.  “I’ve seen many schools with cafes, but we found that most don’t have the aspect of the games.”  Krueger said the games provide an important collaboration between students and individuals on and off the autism spectrum.
