Last week, students headed to La Rural Mexican Grill for a fun and enriching Community Based Instruction experience! Before the trip, students reviewed the menu and selected their lunch choices—bowls, burritos, nachos, and more. They wrote down their orders ahead of time to support a smooth and successful ordering process. Once at the restaurant, B.R.I.D.G.E.S. students independently ordered their meals, chose their drinks, used their student IDs to receive free chips and salsa, and demonstrated excellent table manners. They also showed great confidence—asking where the restroom was and requesting extra salsa all on their own. This outing provided a wonderful opportunity to practice independence, budgeting, and social skills in a real‑world environment. We are incredibly proud of the growth our students have shown throughout the school year!
