　　EDGEWOOD—Every morning at Dixie Heights High school, customers pour into a special experiment :the district’s first coffee shop run mostly by students with special learning needs.

　　Well before classes start, students and teachers order Lattes, Cappuccinos and Hot Chocolates. Then, during the first period, teachers call in orders on their room phones, and students make deliveries.

　　By closing time at 9.20 a.m. , the shop usually sells 90drinks.

　　“whoever made the chi tea, Ms. Schatzman says it was good, ”Christy McKinley , a second year student , announced recently, after hanging up with the teacher.

　　The shop is called the Dixie PIT, which stands for Power in Transition. Although some of the st udents are not disabled, many are, and the PIT helps them prepare for life after high school.
