Sensory Solution

Help me give my students sensory tools to help regulate small bodies who might need a little extra help.

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Kenyata Smith's classroom raised $485

This project is fully funded

Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

Celebrate Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.

My Project

Items such as fidget toys, trampoline, sensory mats, light covers, the chewies for the students, and the mats will make a meaningful difference in a child's ability to succeed in the classroom. These tools help reduce anxiety, improve self-regulation, and promote independence, especially for students with autism and other sensory challenges.

As we build this classroom from the ground up, we are relying on the generosity of our community to help fund these resources.

Your donation — whether monetary or in the form of specific sensory items — would have a direct and lasting impact on the well-being and success of our students.
