Summer Surprise!

Help me give my students a summer surprise! These sensory items will help make their summer amazing!

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. S's classroom raised $244

This project is fully funded

My Project

I would like to send my students home with a summer surprise. The items requested are items that my students have access to daily in the classroom. My students are exceptional children and low income. The sensory items will allow them to have a part of school with them this summer. As well the other items requested will allow them to practice their other goals they have been working on all year with OT.

My students have been working really hard this year to meet all of their goals.

The summer surprise will be perfect to send home with them at the end of year and have a part of school with them. Thank you for your help and support in making this surprise come true!
