High School Students Life Skills

Help me give my students an in class library to learn how to be self sufficient.

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Raub's classroom raised $598

This project is fully funded

My Project

My students are considered ESOL, ELD, and English III. My students often have disabilities that require specialty book selections and special projects as well as other special needs and therefore require an adapted method of learning.

They also have very little guidance on skills that will make you a successful and self-sufficient adult!

Cooking for yourself, paying your bills, choosing a career, fixing your car, doing your laundry, and many more skills that should be on your life list! Providing a full library of resources for my students to achieve adult skills to care for themselves and someday a family, has become a priority!
