Students at the Care Academy spent the week preparing to give board members and superintendents a tour of their different activities.

“We will be having students practicing cake decorating, and throw design skills.” Tanya Mercado said.

The students baked cupcakes and empanadas for the visitors. They explained what they did and showed them how frost a cupcake.

They also got to look around the apartment and the students showed them different tasks they’ve learned to do for their personal life.

“They’ll be able to see the culinary room, they’ll be able to see the floor room,” care academy teacher Laurie, Annette Mercado said.

“The apartment that we use with the kids when we teach them how to do things in their house, and they’ll be able to see the employment rooms too.” Mercado said.

To end their visit, each board member received a floral arrangement made by the students.
