Students in the PEP program are pictured at the display they assembled. Scarves were carefully arranged and posters they created about the Dakin Animal Shelter were prominently set up. Once the display was set, all that was left were the customers. The scarf sale is possible by the kindness, skill and generosity of Charlotte Choleva. Charlotte makes and donates EVERY scarf of this fundraising and learning event. A resounding THANK YOU to Charlotte from FCTS!!!!
For the second year in a row, Anna, a student in the PEP program, was very involved in the scarf sale. Anna greeted the public, helped with set up and learned money skills. It looks like Matt West, Culinary Arts teacher, found a scarf to his liking. This year, Charlotte made 132 scarves for the sale. Because of her generosity in donating the scarves, 100% of the $700 earned will be given to the Dakin Animal Shelter.
Patrons of the Apprentice Restaurant were among the customers admiring and purchasing scarves. Members of the public had a wide range of colorful scarves to choose from. Additionally, many read the informative posters the students had made informing people of the importance of dog and cat adoption. This year, a cash register was in place for the scarf sale. Heather is pictured at the register gaining valuable work skills. The use of the cash register gave the students in the PEP program a higher level of responsibility and challenge.
FCTS students are pictured wearing the scarves they purchased. The student body actively supported this fund raising event by their purchases and enthusiasm. Melissa and Anna are pictured at the register eagerly waiting to help customers. Students really enjoyed the event and are looking forward to a future trip to the Dakin Animal Shelter to present their $700 check.

The PEP program is a unique, tuition based program designed for students with cognitive challenges. This small, but effective program works with students on many educational and independent living skills. Academic skills such as reading, math and critical thinking are practiced daily. Life skills such as cooking and laundry, and shop trade skills such as auto detailing, recycling processing, and office technology are some of the employment skills that offer our students a better chance toward future independent living and job placement.
