Life Skills

We are happy to announce that our life skills elective has gotten off with a bang. We do something different each and every day. We are contributing to our school community on a daily basis. We have jobs to complete around the school, from helping to wipe down the gym equipment, to watering plants in the library. We are also providing a pencil sharpening service. Ms. LaBarbera donated a large number of pencil boxes, which our students labeled and have passed out to teachers. Teachers will fill them with pencils, and we will collect them, sharpen the pencils and return them. Teachers have claimed that this will be a big help, and pencil sharpeners are often out of service, and make noise during class time. We hope to be of service during ISATs as well! We are also creating grocery lists from chosen recipes, and then waking to the store each week to buy the groceries. We invite parents of students in the DD/DLP program to send a simple grocery list and extra money to pick items up for home.
