In our classroom, we are creating a hands-on environment where students can practice real-life vocational and functional skills in a safe, supportive space. Throughout the week, students will rotate through stations focused on life skills like folding and sorting laundry, following a shopping list, preparing simple meals, setting tables, and managing basic cleaning tasks. Each of these activities simulates the kinds of routines they will encounter at home, in the community, or in future jobs—giving them the opportunity to build independence and purpose.
Your donation will directly impact our students by giving them the tools they need to gain confidence and real-world skills.
With your help, students will use task boxes to strengthen their fine motor coordination, timers to build focus and time management, and visual supports to complete tasks independently. These materials allow students to participate in meaningful, structured activities that build both job readiness and daily life skills. Every dollar supports their growth—not just as learners, but as future employees, community members, and independent adults.
Whether they’re following a recipe, completing a folding task at our laundry station, or shopping for food, your support helps create experiences that are empowering, relevant, and deeply needed.
Thank you for helping us prepare our students not just for the next school year—but for the future beyond it.
More than a third of students from low‑income households
