Design & Create! Autistic/Intellectually Disabled Students Learn Business Skills
Help me give my students a Cricut Maker 3 to support my autistic and intellectually disabled students who follow a modified curriculum.
FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Peña's classroom raised $543
This project is fully funded
Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month
This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because
it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.
My Project
Throughout the academic year, the students will craft mugs and shirts both for personal use and for their families, including special holiday-themed mugs containing treats. Additionally, we aim to create coordinated shirts for our community outings that they look forward to weekly.
By engaging in these activities, the students will develop essential vocational skills such as order-taking, template design, and financial competence.
Your generous assistance will play a pivotal role in empowering these students. With the Cricut Maker and mug press, our unique skills class will be better equipped to foster creativity, independence, and valuable life skills among these exceptional students.
More than half of students from low‑income households
Data about students' economic need comes from the National Center for Education Statistics, via our partners at MDR Education. Learn more
