🎉Congratulations to Hayley Baxley at Bladenboro Middle School, another BCS💡Bright Ideas Education Grant recipient!
Four County EMC Community Engagement Specialist Hannah Mabe presented a $1,890 grant award to teacher Hayley Baxley. Hayley’s plan for her grant is to create a hands-on life skills café that gives students with disabilities real opportunities to practice daily living and vocational skills. Students will learn how to handle money, read menus, follow multistep directions, prepare simple items, and communicate with peers and customers in a supportive school setting. This structured environment helps build independence, confidence, social competence, and future employment readiness.
Four County EMC is proud to support educators whose innovative projects enrich classroom instruction across a variety of disciplines including music, art, history, reading, science, technology, math, and engineering.
