Last week, Life Skills class volunteer, Mr. Brack came in to bake Thumbprint Cookies with the class on Wednesday. Students all really enjoyed helping with the activity and the cookies were very tasty! Mr. Brack also baked Christmas holiday cookies to leave with the class to decorate that afternoon. The students really enjoyed posing with their decorated creations. Thank you Mr. Brack, for sharing your time with our students!

Our LHS life skills students have been very busy making holiday cards for area senior citizens the past few weeks. The students hand write over 350-500 cards every year, which is a huge accomplishment for them. We have done this project for many years now & are very proud of their hard work and efforts. We visited the United Way on Monday, December 9th to deliver our cards. It was very meaningful for the students to meet the staff and see all of the cards that have been delivered.

Our Life Skills Students have been learning so much lately! They had a guest baker and volunteer, Mr. Brack come in and teach them how to make scotcheroos. The students all helped follow the recipe and contribute in making the snack. Later Mr. Brack brought in Willow and they went to the basketball court park to visit. Willow performed tricks and the students learned about pet care. Students took turns pushing Willow in her stroller. Everyone appreciated Mr. Brack's visits
