Work has officially started! This summer is the first time our students will continue to go out to work for SWIP. Students were all sent home a permission slip to leave the building with their job coaches, so please make sure they come in.
Our in-house jobs are: a car wash with Patrick Singer, food services with Cicely Neri, horticulture with Beth Looby, and clerical work with Mark Pincelli. Job sites visited by my students include: Joanne's Fabrics, the Mother House, Walgreen's, and PWI. Students have been excited to continue this work over the summer. Research shows that for our students, going out into the community on work experiences is one of the leading contributors for post-school success. I am excited for the direction the SWIP program is taking to ensure the best education for our students.
We are going to the Monroe County Fair on Friday! Pictures and another post to follow at the end of the week!
