My Students

We are in our brand new school! As we have now moved in, we were only allowed to bring so much of our older materials with us. So, we want to get donations for new materials and supplies for our kiddos! We appreciate anything you are willing to give! Our kids will benefit a great deal from every single donation!

We want our students to get the most out of learning & develop a love for reading!

With the texts we have chosen, we know because our students love these characters that it will do just that! They will be eager to get their hands on any book!

My Project

We need more materials to finish out our school year. We are almost out of the chart paper for our English Language Arts curriculum... Our students need flexible seating due to their severe sensory needs... We are going through pencils so fast... Our kids' folders are falling apart...

We need to get these materials so we are able to complete the necessary lessons and to continue to reach our kids' goals.

Most of our students have significant academic and behavioral goals. These supplies will help assist us in this area.

Our kids are making so much progress but we do not have the funding to buy the materials necessary to finish our school year.
