Because of your support, our students have gained hands-on experiences that are already transforming their confidence, independence, and readiness for future community-based work opportunities.\r\n\r\nThis year, our students have learned to assemble mechanical items—including model car engines, terminals, and flashlights—while discovering how electricity moves through each component. They practiced identifying the correct batteries for different items and troubleshooting when things didn't work as expected. One student especially impressed us by independently completing a detailed model of a car engine. Through these projects, students have expanded their vocabulary, strengthened number recognition, improved their ability to follow photos and diagrams, and demonstrated perseverance when challenges arose.\r\n\r\nYour contributions also allowed students to explore practical daily-living skills. They baked cupcakes for their families for Thanksgiving—measuring, mixing, filling, baking, and decorating entirely on their own. They have learned to read and follow multi-step directions, fold towels and sheets, wash laundry, and use a washer and dryer safely and effectively. Additionally, they practiced wrapping silverware for events and developed basic cleaning skills using tools such as a carpet sweeper and vacuum.\r\n\r\nThese experiences have not only built functional life skills but have also helped students discover meaningful leisure activities. Many have found joy in puzzles, reading, and building projects—interests that promote independence and personal fulfillment.\r\n\r\nAll of these activities are intentionally preparing our students for the next step: generalizing these skills into real work experiences within the community by February 2026. We could not have made this level of impact without the supplies you helped us purchase for the first year of our Transitional Life Skills Program.\r\n\r\nEvery student has shown remarkable growth. Their progress reflects your belief in their abilities and your investment in their future. They are becoming more confident, capable, and ready to live productive, independent lives in our community—should they choose to do so.\r\n\r\nOur hearts are full.\r\n\r\n\"Feeling gratitude and not expressing it is like wrapping a present and not giving it.\" — William Arthur Ward**","fullyFundedDate":1759348505283,"projectUrl":"project/building-life-skills-through-experiences/9656588/","projectTitle":"Building Life Skills through Experiences","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Davis","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-2_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/7723542"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_35666","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":594,"numTeachers":23,"percentFrplEligible":83,"percentAsian":0,"percentBlack":0,"percentWhite":14,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":85,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","percentHawaiianImputed":0,"percentMultiracialImputed":0,"gradesServed":"9 - 12","studentTeacherRatio":"25.8:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"RURAL","ncesMetroType":"RURAL_REMOTE"},"inStateSupporters":48.8,"schoolId":35666,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Royal High School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Royal High School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/washington/royal-school-district-160/royal-high-school/35666"}
