My Project

This project helps support four special education classrooms in a low-income community. Many of our students have unique learning needs, and benefit from unique ways to access the general education classroom. These items will support over 80 students across two learning specialist classrooms, a speech language therapist, and a social/emotional behavioral classroom.

These unique chairs are a wonderful tool for many students to fidget and stim while they complete their academic work.

For those who benefit from standing while working, the magnets go along way for students to complete work on the whiteboards. Unfortunately, our school is also limited on calculators and other learning tools. Getting a brand new set of calculators and timers will aid greatly in our student's overall learning.

Our goal is to create a unique, supportive, and calming learning environment with the support of all these wonderful tools. Thank you for your consideration in donation to our project. Your support is greatly appreciated.
