John & Anna's Year

 

John & Anna are second year students here at the Transition Program. They are currently living in Oakdale and accessing transportation through Transit Link public transportation services.  John & Anna both have had previous job experiences through our program.  John completed internship at Papa John's and worked a paid job at McDonalds.  Anna worked at a paid position for a McDonalds for 6 months  and completed a job experience at Hopple Popple Bakery. 

Both students participate in Financial Literacy,  FACS Cooking and Independent Living classes. John & Anna are accessing home living services through Washington County and Life Works.  John stated "I like the fact that I can still attend the classes and learn Life Skills as well as have the rest of the day to work in the community"  Anna stated  " I would still like to have more assistance to meet my learning goals before I graduate from the program".  Both students are happy for the Transition Program to be a part of their busy schedules and moving on to their independent adult lives.
