My Project

This project helps support an Affective Needs special education classroom at a Title 1 school in El Paso County Colorado. Our Classroom is a diverse group of learners with various levels of needs in 6th, 7th, and 8th grade. Your support will help us in all areas of learning, especially in supporting our student's mental health needs and Social Emotional Learning. We plan to utilize these items in our classroom, to support our students in reaching their goals or reintegrating to the General Education environment. Thank you all so much!
