My Project

My name is Mr. Lish and I am a high school resource teacher with Modesto City Schools. I run a club and teach a class for students with autism. In this class students interact with other high school students and learn vital social skills.

In the Pura Vida Club, we bring all students together in multiple social situations throughout the school year, encouraging inclusion for all.

We hold many lunchtime activities throughout the year promoting socialization and bringing students together. Having these fun giant games will be inviting to the students to play. They will be allowed for use for years to come.

The wristbands are away for all students at my school to show autism awareness and the inclusivity of all students with different abilities.

Please consider donating to my project. It would be greatly appreciated and will have a great impact on this program at our High School.
