What will be done with my students

Last year my grant, IHS Criicuteers, was funded and it was a huge success. I want to bring G.A.T.E. (Greater Achievement Through Empowerment) Cricuteers to GGHS! The students will be taught how to start a mock business and to use their measurement, computer, reading and math skills in a whole new way creating beautiful projects like aprons, mask holders, t-shirts, coffee mugs and greeting cards. .The students will also learn how to market and teach students in general education through our inclusive partners club. 

 

Benefits to my students

Sustaining employment is not easy for people with intellectual disabilities, therefore we emphasis the importance of entrepreneur skills. Through this approach, students are given the opportunity to dream big and put their skills to the test. These lessons provide creativity, self-confidence and life skills needed for their future no matter their career path. Students will be empowered and their self-confidence will soar! 

 

Budget Narrative

These items will start the project/business and machines will be utilized for many years.
