South Jersey flower shop will help special needs students grow toward employment - Cherry Hill Courier Post

The school received $24,000 in grant funding from the Woods Foundation, a philanthropic arm of the Langhorne, Pennsylvania-based parent company of Archway, to open and operate the shop. "This class is quite important for the students," noted Wesley Roach, a teacher at Archway's Upper School. It helps them acquire skills for jobs after they graduate, and experience working with others. "It allows them to see other things outside their box, and gives them a chance to move around; it's more interactive than in a classroom setting and the teachers make the class fun and engaging," he added. Archway has in recent years expanded its on- and off-campus structured learning experiences, explained Archway's Upper School principal Mark Letiziano, who's been at the school for the last 19 years. "We're doing more to prepare students' resumes and give them valid experiences that will help them transition to employment after graduation," he said. "Job sampling helps them decide, well, this really isn't for me, but maybe something else is a good fit once they get some hands-on experiences." For Serenity Wested, horticulture class is an opportunity to break free from the traditional classroom. https://www.courierpostonline.com/story/news/local/south-jersey/2019/03/01/waterford-nj-flower-shop-help-special-needs-students-grow-toward-employment/2951323002/

I was in awe every time the crowd stood up and got loud. That’s, for sure, a place people want to be.”Since Flowers is a sophomore, college coaches cannot call him. However, he can call them and talk, but nothing beats getting face time with them, and he relished the opportunity again.“The coaches are great,” Flowers said. “They always have high energy. Every coach I talked to, they acted like they knew me for years and I’ve only known them a couple months. They definitely want you to feel like it’s a home.”Flowers also paid close attention to the game, and what too... https://247sports.com/Article/Mehki-Flowers-Penn-State-Nittany-Lions-white-out-football-recruiting-137415008/
