Healthy Body and Mind

Help me give my students healthy snack and drink options as well as new reading books and coloring options that are culturally diverse

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Dorn's classroom raised $612

Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

Celebrate Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.

My Students

Our school has two self-contained classes for students with intellectual disabilities, autism, and/or speech impairments. Our students all learn at their own rates using different strengths and weakness areas.

Most of our families have added costs that go beyond the norm for raising children, such as added therapies, medical supplies, and even duty nurses, so contributing to class projects and needed supplies is too much for us to ask of them.

Home reading material is also very small and not likely to be of high priority.

My Project

The majority of our school population is under the economically disadvantaged group and unable to contribute to class needs regularly for financial reasons. Our self-contained classes rely on families to supply the room with snacks for the end of the day. During snack time we spend time doing social studies activities and discuss our friends' cultures.

Healthy snacks and learning materials with cultural diversity will give our students a healthier school day in body and mind.

Books and puzzles with people of color will express the actual people in our school community. Crayons with a variety of skin colors will allow our students to make their own pictures that better depict what each person looks like, including themselves.
