My Project

Every day students gain the opportunity to earn classroom dollars that they can use to buy items in the classroom store. Often the students like to earn candy, chips, etc. In addition, students engage in life skills lessons every other day where they learn how to do laundry, clean, and learn how to make meals.

Thus, Students in the Skills for Life Project will use these supplies to learn how to make their own food, do their own laundry, and other skills to learn independence in high school and beyond.

This project will directly impact historically underfunded classrooms.
