Heather Buksa’s and Jennifer Zylberberg’s classes at John F. Kennedy Intermediate School recently started a Falcon Food Cart. Together, their students are working on communication skills and functional math skills as they package up pre-ordered items and sell items on their cart to staff members in the building. Zylberberg created labels and communication prompts for students to be used to interact with customers. Profits earned from the Falcon Food Cart will help support social and community gatherings for the classes.

“The students are learning skills that are taught in the classroom and carrying it over for authentic experiences,” Buksa said.
