Earlier last week, Roseville High School completed a new learning skills room to improve students abilities that can used in the community and at home.

According to Special Education teacher Christine Balsano, students are excited to be able to use a full service kitchen for their hands on projects.

The new room will feature a full service kitchen with multiple ovens and sinks, as well as a washer and dryer.

“We will also have better pantry space to collect items, the spices, flour, anything that we are going to be using in the kitchen,” Balsano said.

According to Balsano, the students will learn how to wash, dry, and fold laundry as well as which cleaners to use or not use.

“We will have a lot more that we can do and a lot more hands on, which will make a huge difference for our kids,” Balsano said.
