My Project

This project is aimed to help assist with transitional skills for my students so that they can be successfully employed in their time after high school. My students are in a self-contained high school class, where they have the opportunity to help run an organization called The Life Cafe. This Cafe is an organization to help students with money, organizational skills, social skills, and more. The Life Cafe sells snacks and drinks to students and staff throughout the building, as well as provides a number of opportunities of growth for my students. Having these supplies will help continue to give students this opportunity in a number of ways.
