My Project
I teach a class of student with a variety of special needs in a rural community in southern Indiana. There is an amazing independent spirit that runs through the community. The fastest way to get something done is to say they can't do it. But, like anything practice and exposure are key to their success.
Exposure matters, real growth can only happen with real experiences.
This is why I am asking for this oven. Being able to fix basic meals is a key to success as an adult. Being able to practice with an oven is huge. It opens up opportunities for practice. This builds not just skills but also confidence that they can do it. Help me open doors for my students so they can live as independent life as possible.
More than a third of students from low‑income households
