My Project

As a middle school Affective Needs Teacher, my SPED students with SED, OHI, SLD, ASD & other disabilities were hit at a crucial time in their childhood for SEL/Social/Behavioral skill development during COVID-19. The requested resources will help them reignite their passion for becoming their best selves through SEL. In my classroom, we are family who strive to uplift each other with our learning aligned to CASEL's SEL standards. We appreciate your funding and dedication to our most impacted students. Too often, these students are left behind-with your help, together, we can say that we will no longer accept that status quo.
