Our students are Pre-K/EC and their age ranges from 3-5. Our 4 classes are blended with children with different types of special needs (Autism, Developmental Delays, fine and gross motor delays, Speech Delay, and other Disorders). All of the students have some type of language and communication deficits. The students have difficulty understanding language and communicating their wants and needs. We use several augmentative communication devices, sign language to communicate, and picture symbols.
The school is a Title I school with 100% of the students on free and reduced lunch.
Most of the parents are single parents, which leaves little money to help with materials needed in the classroom.
My Project
The backpacks that I’m requesting for this project will give a backpack to each of our 32 Pre-K students with special needs. Backpacks are very important for our students will special needs because they hold many important items such as their diapers & wipes, medicine, and school materials. Since most of our students ride the bus they need a reliable backpack to make sure their items are transported daily.
Many of our parents are single-parents that are not able to provided backpacks every year and many of the backpacks are in poor condition.
Please help our Pre-K students with their basic need of a backpack.
Nearly all students from low‑income households
