My Project
The students in our school range in age from five to ten years old. They receive special instruction in small classrooms along with related services throughout the school day, such as physical therapy, occupational therapy, speech, and counseling. Many of our students are non-speaking and many are not toilet-trained.
Sometimes our students need extra clothes in emergency situations, like toileting mishaps, after tummy aches, or with food accidents.
I did not realize how much our students really needed these items until recently, after I had gotten a DonorsChoose clothing project funded. Since then, multiple students have needed clean, dry clothing due to toileting emergencies. I was so happy to have been able to provide what was needed for those students, in their size. The clothing items (socks, leggings, joggers, and shorts) and storage drawers I am requesting will continue to accommodate our students' clothing needs for those times when they need it...and we will be ready!!
