Thank you to the following investor for funding this grant.
Nassau Education Foundation - $855.80
Goal
Students will feel confident and look professional as they represent Nassau County in community based work experiences as they learn employment skills.
What will be done with my students
As part of Nassau County's Transitioning Adults Program (TAP - 18-22 program) students with significant needs, are enrolled in Career Experiences Courses where a significant part of their curriculum is working in the community. With support from school staff and our business partners they learn employment skills to prepare them for paid employment.
Benefits to my students
The benefit of having a standard uniform provided for students is two fold.
Seven of my ten students qualifies for free lunch with 5 of those students being in the homeless program (FIT). Providing uniforms would help students have a sense of pride in knowing that they have a quality uniform. Uniforms will be retained at school and students will be responsible for laundry as part of their curriculum.
Additionally, having a consistent uniform will add immediate recognition in the community and a professional representation of Nassau County Schools.
Budget Narrative
Except for the shirts, uniform items will be purchased at Wal-Mart for economical pricing. To ensure proper fit, students will be able to try on items and with guidance from school staff, make wise purchases.
