Dress For Success Fashion Show and Luncheon

What fashions will the well-dressed soon be wearing in the workplace? Well, if you attended the recent Dress for Success Fashion Show and Luncheon, at Liberty High School, in Brentwood, you would know. More than 150 attendees got a glimpse of what our Community Based Instruction (CBI) students will soon be dressed in when they go to their jobs or job interviews. 



Now in its 8th year, the annual fashion show and luncheon was created to thank all the participating businesses, schools, and community organizations, that support CBI programs, and to increase the awareness in the community of our students' abilities and potential as excellent employees.



CBI is a class for students with severe disabilities, ages 18-22 years old. The goal of this program is to facilitate the transition from K-12 school to adult life. Curriculum and transition strategies include: independent living skills, social skills, recreation/leisure opportunities, employment training, mobility training, economics/money management, community awareness and services, and volunteerism.
