Aloha High School, Kristi Cabrera hasn't added a story.
My name is Kristi Cabrera and I am a Transition Specialist in the Beaverton School District. I oversee the work experience program at Aloha High School. We work with special education students teaching vocational, social, and functional math skills. The goal is to help our students learn the skills to attain and keep a job as well as learn functional skills towards independence as they age out of high school services.
At Aloha High School, in the past few years, we are really seeing students (both general ed and special ed) struggle with self-worth and acceptance. We recently became introduced to the My Intent Project. There are many celebrities who have gotten behind this. The idea is to build one another up rather than bring one another down.
We have been inspired to not only create bracelets for our students in our work experience program but use these as a fundraising opportunity for our program. Our students would learn how to create these bracelets using a word that resonates with each particular student buying one. We would love to see every student at Aloha High School wearing one! The anticipated number of students participating in this project will initially be the 20 students in our program. We hope to expand this in the next few years.
Our intent with running this project is that it will provide more interaction between the general education students and our special education students which is a huge bonus. Too many times, our students are isolated because they are placed in specialized programs and don't interact much with general ed students outside their placements due to anxiety, scheduling, and academic and functional needs. In addition, we want to help students learn about running a business with keeping track of orders, making flyers, and keeping a budget. We are hoping to raise funds to first of all, sustain this project yearly. We are also hopeful the profit earned can additionally help to offset the cost of several yearly community outings. Community social interactions are very important for the social/emotional growth of our special education students.
Budget:
Deluxe Maker Kit $185.00
Refill tokens: 50 brass, 50 black $125.00
Spool of Waxed Cotton String: $10.00.
Total: $320.00
Thank you so much for considering our project!
