Sense & Support: Donate for Inclusion

Help me give my students items to calm their sensory needs, and quiet their minds.

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Yeakey's classroom raised $763

My Project

Every child learns differently, and for students with sensory needs, having the right tools can make all the difference. Our goal is to provide essential sensory items—such as fidget tools, weighted sensory items, specific lighting needs, and textured learning materials—that will help our students focus, self-regulate, and engage more fully in their education.

These sensory supports will create a calm, inclusive learning environment where every student can thrive.

Many of our students experience challenges with attention, anxiety, or sensory processing, and these items will give them the tools they need to succeed.

Our students are bright, curious, and full of potential. They deserve a learning space that meets their unique needs and allows them to shine. With your support, we can make that a reality!
