High school’s life skills class needs household items

Santa brought you a new toaster oven for Christmas, and you just replaced your old set of pots and pans. If you have household items gathering dust or no longer being used, the Life Skills Class at Maricopa High School can put those items to good use.

The Life Skills class is seeking donations to outfit a temporary instructional classroom. The classroom is designed to assist special needs students with preparation for transitioning into an independent lifestyle.

The skills taught include cleaning, cooking and simple household tasks. The instructors are asking for donations of supplies and equipment, including the following.

pots and pans
mixing bowls

griddle
cutting boards
