My Project

My 6th, 7th, and 8th grade Middle School Students with Multiple Abilities love showing others just how "crafty" they can be! Our students are learning Life Skills so they can become active and successful within their Community. The students will learn how to design and create fantastic gifts to sell in their Cafe & School Gift Shop as well as make "Thinking of you gifts" for all of the staff that support them throughout the year! The money earned will allow our students to participate in Community Based Instruction oppurtunities.
