FIRST PAYCHECK EXCITEMENT!
There's nothing better than getting your very first paycheck! League School for Autism student, Matias, recently started working in the community and today received his first check so he was off to the bank to cash it. He showed the teller his ID, signed his name and got his money! He bought a snack and is saving the rest to buy something next week!
