Bridging the Gap for Rural SPED Students

Help me give my students in SPED where access to resources is very limited.

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Noval's classroom raised $438

This project is fully funded

My Project

I love my students’ resilience, kindness, and determination. In our rural Alaska community, they support one another, celebrate small successes, and continue trying even when learning feels challenging. Their perseverance and genuine care for each other make them truly special.

The specific items I am requesting will make a direct difference in their learning.

Hands-on math and reading tools will make abstract skills more concrete. Sensory and communication supports will help students regulate emotions, stay focused, and participate independently.

My goal is to increase independence, confidence, and meaningful academic progress for every student.

Ms. Noval Alakanuk School Grades 6-8
