stoney creek giving tree
It’s that time of year when the Giving Tree will soon be up and fully decorated in the senior locker bank! Not only is the tree a sign that break is coming soon, but also a symbol of helping others in our own Stoney Creek family enjoy the holiday season.
Students, families, and staff are welcome to visit our sign-up genius to select your gift card options. We request that all gift cards are returned by 3pm on December 12th to the Counseling Office so we have ample time to organize the donations for our families. When students return a gift card, they will be given a paper ornament to help decorate the tree.
If your family is in need this holiday and would benefit from our Stoney Creek Giving Tree, please fill out this confidential form or visit the counseling office to pick up a physical copy.

support the work based learning bread by the creek program!
The Stoney Creek Work Based Learning Careers class is a unique course designed to develop our student's with special needs employability and independent living skills to prepare them for adult life. Some of our students are on track to continue at the Adult Transition Program and some will transition into trade school programs like Michigan Career Technological Institute through Michigan Rehabilitative Services. In contrast, others will be ready to begin employment after graduating High School or attend further education/training.
Each student in this class has an IEP or Independent Education Plan working on their individualized transition goals to prepare for life after graduation. Students engage in mini-lessons focused on resume building, applying for jobs, and interviewing. We also have work-based learning opportunities for students to learn how to function in a work environment with appropriate work behaviors while meeting set work expectations during their assigned jobs. One of our work based learning opportunities is Bread by the Creek where students make sour dough bread to sell to staff in the building.
Our students also participate in the PAES Lab (Practical Assessment Exploration System). This is a lab that offers students the opportunity to explore their interests while also discovering their natural aptitude and strengths with 270 tasks. These 270 tasks are in the areas of Construction, Processing Production, Computers, Consumer Services, and Business. The data gathered from the tasks in the Lab guides and supports our students' transition planning and goals.
Rochester is fortunate to have such programs and opportunities for our students and I am grateful to have the continued support of my administration and Special Education Department team. If you are interested in donating to support the work based learning students various projects and Bread by the Creek please feel free to donate at the link below. Thank you for your support.
