My students are Pre-K/EC and their age ranges from 3-5. They class is 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 uniforms I’m requesting are for our young Pre-K students (5 classes). Many of our families are single parents that are working hard to provide for their children. However, most of their funds go to bills and leave very little for the students’ uniforms. Also, most of our students are not potty trained and they often need extra clothes to change in. These uniforms will really help our students by meeting their clothing needs. When the students have their basic needs met in school it allows the teachers to focus on their education. Having uniforms at school for our students will be a major resource that is needed.
Nearly all students from low‑income households
