My Project
Snacks, fidget tools, and books are essential for our middle school students with learning disabilities, providing both physical and mental support. Snacks help maintain energy and focus, preventing distractions from hunger. Fidget tools assist in managing restlessness, improving concentration, and calming nerves. Books, especially those with engaging content or accessible formats, offer an opportunity for self-paced learning, boosting confidence and comprehension. Together, these resources create a comfortable, engaging environment that supports emotional well-being, reduces anxiety, and enhances academic success, empowering students to thrive despite challenges.
These tools all together are essential for our students to have alternatives to stay focused and ready in class.
More than half of students from low‑income households
Data about students' economic need comes from the National Center for Education Statistics, via our partners at MDR Education. Learn more
