My Project

The push cart, furniture, pencil sharpener and other imperative supplies are going to make a great impact in teaching my students essential life skills that will support them in the future when working in the community.

My students work hard to learn routines and skills each day and I know they will valuable skills with hands on vocational learning opportunities.

I want to be able to teach them skills that can support them in the community when they get older. The push cart and meal supplies will support students in learning more office related and meal service jobs.
