Work Experience Program Trainee of the Week
This week's MHS Work Experience Trainee of the Week is senior Isaac Banuelos. Isaac is currently training at the Kum&Go store, located at 1429 Park Avenue, where he has been experiencing the operations of a modern-day 24 hr convenience store. Pictured with Isaac is General Manager Heather Koenig who has been working for Kum&Go in Muscatine for thirteen years.
We would like to thank Heather and the staffs at both of the Muscatine Kum&Go store locations for providing a clean and comfortable place for our students to learn. Kum&Go has been a great place for our students to gain employability skills while providing for the food, fuel, and beverage needs of the Muscatine community for many years.
