My Project

Greetings to all potential benefactors,

I am reaching out with a heartfelt request to support a very special group of students.

I have the privilege of teaching Physical Education at a school dedicated to nurturing the talents and abilities of autistic children. Our mission is to provide these bright young minds with the same opportunities for growth, learning, and physical development as their neurotypical peers. However, our current resources for our Strength Training class are proving to be a significant limitation.

The Challenge:

Our strength training program is an essential component of our physical education curriculum. It not only aids in their physical development but also in enhancing their self-esteem, focus, and overall well-being. Despite the enthusiasm and dedication of our students, our class is currently operating with minimal equipment. We possess a modest collection equipment, and rely heavily on bodyweight exercises. This limited range of equipment restricts our ability to offer a diverse and comprehensive strength training experience. As a result, our ability to fully engage each student in the learning process and provide them with a variety of exercises is significantly hindered.

This equipment will not only enhance our current program but also allow us to introduce new and exciting exercises to our students. It will enable personalized adjustments to meet the diverse needs and abilities of our students, fostering an inclusive and supportive environment for all.

The Impact:

Your generous donation will have a profound impact on our students. It will enable them to explore their physical capabilities, build strength, and gain confidence. More importantly, it will give them a sense of achievement and inclusion, knowing they have the support and resources to grow and succeed just like their neurotypical counterparts.

Ms. Clay
Grades 9-12
