My Students

I am an Occupational Therapist in the public school setting. Our kids are the coolest and love to learn.

The chairs and lighting are not always the best for them though.

A lot of these kids need to get out of their seats and read a book and just take a brain break! With limited funding in public schools, we try everything we can to help them succeed to be more well rounded.

Your donations will help to assist us in helping these future little people in their learning through multi-sensory relaxation.

My Project

The bean bag chairs and the lights will help our students have a place to sit and relax while learning.

Kids need calming and sensory friendly areas throughout the day.

We have found over the years that the chairs that they sit in are very hard and sometimes, kids need a break too! If all of these big companies can have alternative seating, we should allow our students to as well!

The cool lights also create a different sensory affect which provides calming from those harsh lights that are in the schools. Thank you for your time and willingness to help out our school and grant!
