My Project

We are a special education, alternate assessment program for young adults. As a school community, we strive to educate our students about self care through daily living skills training. We want our students to become functional living young adults and that starts in our classrooms. Our classrooms are unique, they appear are worksites and homes. We want to teach our students how to manage their home and self care.

As educators, we are in need of hygiene items such as deodorant and tooth brushes to learn about appearance matters in the workplace.

We are also requesting essential class materials to support everyday job tasks like measurements and cooking.
