Help Fund Our Title I Preschool ASD Classroom

Help me give my students a fun and engaging classroom environment.

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Nobrega's classroom raised $1,075

My Project

Hello,

I am a special educator teaching in a Title I district.

My students have been identified as having autism spectrum disorder. This is the first year for this preschool classroom for students with autism spectrum disorder. Many of my students are new to the US, English language learners and live in poverty. The materials provided, such as blocks and fidgets, will help to support their learning and development. They will allow for hands on exploration of high quality educational materials. Your donation will truly make a difference in the lives and development of my students. Thank you for considering donating to this cause.

Best,

Ms. Sheila

Mrs. Nobrega Cardinal O'Connell Early Learning Center Grades PreK-2
