Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

Celebrate Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.

My Project

In my special education class for grades 5-7, we embrace diverse abilities, including autism. Our students come to school eager and ready to learn.

We're seeking a mini trampoline as a sensory tool to enhance our learning environment.

Research shows that sensory activities, like bouncing, can significantly benefit children with autism, promoting focus, self-regulation, and overall well-being.

A trampoline provides a dynamic outlet for sensory input, supporting our students' diverse needs. With improved focus and regulation, our students can engage more effectively in lessons, fostering a positive learning experience. Beyond academics, your contribution promotes physical activity, motor skills, and social interactions – crucial elements for holistic development.

Any donation directly impacts the daily lives of these incredible students, creating an environment where they can thrive academically and emotionally. Your support isn't just an investment; it's a gesture of belief in their potential.
