My Project
Our ESE (Exceptional Student Education) students are incredibly resilient, compassionate, and capable individuals who learn and grow in unique and inspiring ways. They bring joy, creativity, and a fresh perspective to our classroom every day. Their diverse strengths and needs push us to think outside the box, and their small victories often become the biggest celebrations. What makes them special is not just how they learn, but who they are: learners full of potential, pride, and promise.
In our ESE classroom, every student's success is supported by meeting both academic and daily living needs.
We are requesting a refrigerator to help store healthy snacks, student-prepared meals, and essential items like medications or sensory supports that require cooling. Having a dedicated fridge in our classroom will promote independence, teach life skills, and ensure our students have consistent access to the nourishment and resources they need to thrive throughout the school day. This small addition will make a big impact on their learning and well-being.
The fridge will be a key tool in teaching life skills to our amazing ESE students. They participate in life skills such as meal prep, food safety, and personal responsibility skills that are critical for fostering independence in our students.
