Coffee bar this morning! Serving Casey's donuts and hot chocolate or cappuccino 🍩

Today was a BIG day for a couple of the seniors! 💼✨ Declan, Kaden, and Miss Bares had the opportunity to attend the “Let’s Talk Work” Transition Fair, and let me tell you… our brains are buzzing in the best way possible. We learned about SO many types of assistive technology (AT) that can help individuals be more efficient, confident, and successful in the workplace. From tools that support organization and communication to devices that make everyday tasks smoother, it was amazing to see how technology can open doors. 🚪💡 But our absolute favorite? The Meta AI Glasses 🤯👓 These glasses were incredible! They can provide real-time support, reminders, and information right when you need it. And yes… we got to try them out ourselves! Watching the boys test them was very entertaining! We also walked away with so many valuable resources to support students in the workforce and in college. It’s exciting to know there are so many supports available as our students take their next steps after high school. Proud of these guys for showing up, asking questions, and thinking about their futures today! The world of work better get ready. 💪✨

Thanks to Mensch Greenhouse for providing work experience for our students in Project skills!

Congratulations to Declan Miner on his acceptance to Southeast Technical College in Sioux Falls!
