The Company Store, located in The Apprentice School lobby, is holding a holiday sale on selected items, and the deals last through Dec. 19. Stock up on Newport News Shipbuilding, Apprentice School and Apprentice School alumni logoed items.

In addition – and for one week only – the store is again accepting pre-paid orders for NNS or Apprentice School Carhartt jackets. The quilted and flannel-lined jackets are available in black, Carhartt brown, deep navy and gravel. Orders end Thursday, Dec. 12. Complete your order at the store, open Monday-Thursday, 11:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. and Wednesday mornings, 7-8:30 a.m. by appointment only.

Meanwhile, the store has an opening for a part-time store attendant. This is a self-employed contractor position, not an NNS employee. If shipbuilders know of anyone who is interested, please contact D. Mark Tomlin.
