Looking into the future...

We spend almost all of our time at the transition center preparing our students for their futures.  We try to prepare them as much as we can for what comes next.  To to this we try to give them opportunities to explore all the options that are out there for them in the areas of Living, Learning, and Working.  Today, we explored one of these "options" for working after school.  OPTIONS of Linn County, a sheltered work shop, and a place that sometimes our students go to work after their time at PrairieWood, recently opened a new facility.  We took time this morning to go tour their new location and saw a few familiar faces while we were there.

Our feature blogger this week is Ahsia.  This is what Ahsia has to say about her time at PrairieWood this week.
"This week at PrairieWood I learned to make a rootbeer float.  I enjoyed seeing the teachers.  I was challenged by stamping holiday cards.  At PrairieWood, I would like to learn more about counting door knob knockers at Yellow Book."

Enjoy our pictures from our tour of the new OPTIONS building!

Checking out the break room.

A familiar face!  PrairieWood Alum, Melissa shows us her job.

Learning about some of the jobs they complete at OPTIONS.

...and we thought we did a lot of shredding!
