My Project

Our students face a disadvantage in learning in a standard general education setting. With the frustrations of typical daily learning, the requested materials will present an organized and safe learning space.

Help us create a welcoming space for our students to learn.

Our students are eager to learn but need the right setting for maximum engagement.

The pencils and pencil sharpener are much needed tools for writing. The binders will hold all student work to showcase to their parents and in meetings. The shelves and bins will keep all binders in an organized space. The bulletin decor and motivational wall art will create a calming and welcoming learning atmosphere.
