You're Invited: Students with special needs hosting flower sale for the public this week
You're Invited: Students with special needs hosting flower sale for the public this week Today, students at Jardon Vocational School are opening their general store with a flower sale at 2200 Woodward Heights Avenue. Jardon Vocational School, a part of Hazel Park Schools, serves adults ages 18 to 26 with special needs. The students come from 14 districts in Oakland County. Jardon focuses on teaching young people adult living skills. Traditionally, that includes finding work within the community. But the pandemic put hands-on training on hold -- and students had to get creative. "They just really flourished with their ability to try new things ... it was really amazing to watch them grow," Principal Megan Papasian-Broadwell told 7 Action News. Students took matters into their own hands, teaming up with educators to create Jardon's first-ever general store, open to the public. You'll find doormats made by students with autism, along with plants grown at the school
