Celebrate Black Teachers and Students

This project is part of the Black History Month celebration because it supports a Black teacher or a school where the majority of the students are Black.

My Project

My students are soaring in excellence at RBES. I need your help so they will continue to progress. Your donation will directly impact my kindergarten and first-grade autistic students by providing essential sensory items and positive reinforcement tools for the school year.

These resources will create a nurturing environment that fosters their learning and development.

Sensory items such as weighted blankets, fidget toys, and sensory bins will help regulate their sensory needs, enabling them to focus better in class and engage more effectively with learning activities. Additionally, positive reinforcement items like reward charts, stickers, snacks, and verbal praise will encourage their progress and boost their self-esteem.

By supporting these students with the tools they need, you'll be making a significant difference in their educational journey. Your generosity will not only enhance their academic experience but also contribute to their overall well-being and social-emotional development. Together, we can create an inclusive and supportive environment where every student has the opportunity to thrive.
