Planting Seeds To Support Our Needs

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Johnston's classroom raised $298

My Project

This year, we have introduced another life skill to our students that can also bring in some revenue for our program. Planting seeds! Our students have planted some seeds and really enjoyed it, but we need more supplies!

Help restock our gardening supplies so we can grow plants and sell them to our staff members.

Every dollar that comes in from our school based enterprise is used to pay for more community based experiences where we can learn more adult transitional skills. We also build our motor skills, as well as practice following step by step directions to complete tasks.
