The district’s 18+ program continues to build real-world learning experiences that prepare students for what comes next. This work is led by a dedicated department creating meaningful opportunities for students through a partnership with Texas A&M University’s Center on Disability and Development as part of the Work-Based Learning Project, securing a grant of up to $10,000 to strengthen these efforts. That work was on display yesterday morning as students showcased their barista skills at the principals meeting, continuing to refine their skills through hands-on, real-world learning. #DonnaISD #LaunchingALegacy
