2026 MHS Graduate, Unified PE Rock Star, and Crumbl Cookie employee Carson Frommelt spent the morning hosting MHS, MHSAP, and Marion Transition Center students for the TAP Summer Program to teach them all about his job. TAP is a program at MISD that supports students with IEPs, 504s and other qualifying diagnoses with career exploration and work readiness training. Today's activity included a behind-the-scenes tour of Crumbl Cookie, and back at the Transition Center some hands-on practice with prepping cookies for specific size and weight. A huge thank you to Carson and the entire Crumbl staff for being so welcoming and helping our students learn about jobs both in and out of the classroom!
