Rep. Lois Capps will join Santa Barbara High School students at 10:30 a.m. Friday for the grand reopening of the Dons Net Café.

The Dons Net Café is a student-run business at Santa Barbara High School that helps students learn firsthand about running a small business.

“I am so impressed by the leadership and vision of the Santa Barbara High School students at Dons Net Café,” Capps said. “Kids are never too young to learn the value of hard work and money, and this small business offers students the perfect opportunity to gain precious real-world experience while additionally providing a great service to their classmates and the community.

“I am particularly pleased that students use thecafé for the Volunteer Income Tax Assistance Program, which teaches students to become certified the basic tax preparation so they can help process income taxes for low-income families. Not only is this Net Café teaching students valuable business skills, but it’s teaching them good business ethics and the importance of giving back to their community.”

Emily Kryder is press secretary for Rep. Lois Capps.

The ROP Virtual Enterprise Dons Net Cafe put on a spectacular “Grand Opening” event today at SBHS! The key note presentation by Jean-Michel Cousteau was wonderful. These motivated high school students make all of us at ROP and SBHS very proud! They model what a high quality Career Technical Education program can look like. They currently are a finalist in the Best Buy Challenge this year trying to win a grant of $10,000 to purchase computers for their VITA program mentioned above to do income taxes for low income and other families in need in our community. As we all know the state of our economy, please take the time to VOTE DAILY on line for them at http://www.genv.net/bestbuy or use your cell phone to send a text vote to 32075 and send the text BBYV10. You can vote every day until January 17th. THEY NEED YOUR VOTES EVERY DAY! If you value the work they do in our community, please stick a note on your mirror or computer and vote daily!
