My Project

Our school’s special education department serves incredible group of Pre-K through 5th grade students. Each child brings unique strengths and challenges to our school, and our goal is to provide a supportive, organized, and accessible environment where they can thrive. In the special education setting, staying organized is key to maintaining an effective learning environment for our students.

Storage shelves and a filing cabinet would make a significant difference in how we all manage materials and resources.

Currently, we lack adequate storage space, and supplies are often scattered or inaccessible, which can disrupt learning. The storage shelf will allow us to neatly organize supplies, making them easy to access for both students and teachers. Meanwhile, the filing cabinet will provide a secure place to store important documents such as IEPs, student work, and progress data, helping staff stay organized and focused on teaching. A well-organized space reduces sensory overload and creates a calm, predictable environment that supports focus and learning. Thank you for believing in our students and supporting our journey toward growth and success.
