What's better than a cold treat on a super hot day? A cold treat scooped by a fellow student. The latest "hot" business at Ivymount is the Student Government Association's (SGA's) weekly ice cream sale.
The SGA is comprised of six students, elected by their peers, who meet weekly to plan events and fundraisers. This year, students on the SGA are working on numerous ideas, including the next prom, Valentine's candygrams, a car wash, candle sales, and of course this summer's ice cream business, which is set to run into September.
The menu includes bowls of chocolate or vanilla ice cream plus multiple toppings, or gluten free Outshine bars in several flavors, all for $1 each. Ice cream sales are scheduled for Wednesday's at 12:15 p.m. and Friday's at 2:45 p.m.
As with other businesses, it's an opportunity for students to practice ordering, handling monetary transactions, and food service skills. Equally important in steamy July and August, it's a great way to beat the heat. Judging by the multiple waves of customers last week, the ice cream business is pretty "cool" to students and staff.
