My Project

Dear Donors,

I am writing to request your support in providing sensory and emotional regulation tools for my 21 exceptional scholars.

My goal is to create a calming sensory room and environment that will allow these students to use these tools for sensory and emotional release. Additionally, I hope to provide alternative seating arrangements that allow for calming kinesthetic movement while learning.

These tools are necessary for my students as they have difficulties with emotional regulation and sensory processing as a result of their disabilities. By having access to these tools throughout the school day, students will be able to meet their sensory and emotional needs more effectively.

Thank you for considering supporting this project and providing my students with the tools they need to thrive in their education.

Sincerely,

Mrs. Buck
