As part of their curriculum to prepare for social independence, students engage in vocational training, including bread production, to build knowledge, skills, and attitudes necessary for work. Following seven successful trial sales held between October 2025 and February 2026—which saw products selling out within 30 minutes—the school decided to continue the regular sales for the 2026 fiscal year due to popular demand.
New products include the 'Rice Pound Cake,' made with rice from the Okutomi area, leveraging its reputation as a rice-producing region. This product debuted in February and became highly popular.
Purchased bread is provided in original paper bags featuring the school mascot, 'Chako-chan,' surrounded by designs created by the school's art club members.
This initiative is positioned as a school-community integration project. By fostering cooperation between schools, social education, and the local community, the project aims to cultivate the 'vitality' of students. In the 2026 fiscal year, the school aims to achieve phased growth and technical improvement through systematic practical training each semester.
