Special education students serve smiles at school cafe in Delaware
WILMINGTON, Delaware (WPVI) — When the lunch bell rings, it’s time for special education students to shine. It all happens in a school cafe where inclusion is the top item on the menu.
Thomas McKean High School, which has a large population of special education students, has various avenues for collaboration with regular education peers. The Unified Sports program and video game club are two examples.
Three years ago, the school launched the ‘Brew and Bake Cafe.’ There, special education students and their peers in student government work together behind the counter.
Fellow students serve as real customers, ordering snacks and drinks in between classes.
It provides job skills, communication skills, and a chance for friendships to form.
Watch the video above to see the students in action.

DELAWARE, Ohio (WCMH) — A local fraternity is sticking by its core value of service, and having fun doing it.
With the help of their fellow students, teachers and sports teams, Phi Gama Delta at Ohio Wesleyan held a cereal box donation drive.
They had a goal of collecting 800 boxes for People in Need, Delaware County’s largest food pantry. To mark the occasion, organizers at the pantry and fraternity brothers set the boxes up in a line and knocked them over like dominoes.
“I think that’s such a great way to connect with people,” Zoe Borer, Capacity Building Associate at People in Need said. “Sometimes it’s very serious what we do, sometimes it’s great to be fun and that’s what today was, is showing us the fun side of how we can help our community.”
“Our goal is to do a good turn daily so every single day wake up and find something to help, help someone in the community, help someone on campus, help your mom or dad or whatever it may be,” said Phi Gama Delta brother Anthony Mordini.
People in Need serves 500 people every week with free groceries and served almost one million meals last year.
