Community-Based Learning: Grocery Shopping
Because learning doesn't only happen within the four walls of the school, High Road School of Southern York is committed to providing community-based instruction opportunities to our students of transition age. Our students had the opportunity to put their hard work and learning into action as they shopped for ingredients needed to make their own lunches. Students planned the meal, made the grocery list, budgeted, shopped and prepared their meals. The results were tasty!
Meet Miles!
High Road School of Southern York had a very special visitor, Miles, a Siberian Husky and his handler!

We are excited to be able to offer this experience to our students on a regular basis. We can't wait for Miles to visit again!
