Provide a Safe and Engaging Environment for My Students

Help me give my students new classroom supplies, exploration devices, and writing boards.

FULLY FUNDED! Mr. VEGA's classroom raised $567

My Project

There are only twelve classrooms in the district that provide services for students for sensory input. We provide a loving, nurturing, and explorative environment for wheelchair-bound students with multiple disabilities. Please help us in providing them a safe environment. The cleaning supplies will help in providing a safe, germ-free environment for students with compromised immune systems. The light bars will provide visual engagement. Markers and adjustable boards address students' unique ways of learning and expressing their individuality. This is a Title One school with over half of the population being low-income.
