PACE participant showcases cakemaking skills
LITTLETON >> Kyle Musomba is a student participating in the Personalized Academic and Comprehensive Education transition program within the Littleton Public Schools district that assists students with disabilities aged 18-22 in preparing for post-school life. Participants focus on a variety of transition skills including functional reading and math, independent living skills, activities of daily living and vocational skills.
Using his baking and cake-decorating skills, Musomba baked a specialty cake for members of Littleton Middle School’s Playbook Initiative. He also volunteers his time at the Portuguese Club in Hudson, Littleton Meals on Wheels, The Wish Project in Chelmsford and more.
“Our program is small right now with three students, but that makes it even better for individualizing services and worksites/internships to student’s areas of strength and interests,” Transition Coordinator Catherine Johnson said. “The participants in our transition program are very capable and our community partnerships give them the opportunity to showcase their talents and hard work.”
