Support the Fidgeting Minds: Donate Fidget Toys for Alternative School

Help me give my students the tools that can help them with their anxiety while at school.

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Harris's classroom raised $387

This project is fully funded

My Project

At WAVE, we embrace diversity and understand that each child learns and copes with their environment differently. That's why we're reaching out to our community for support in providing essential tools for our students.

Many of our students benefit greatly from fidget toys, as they help improve focus, reduce anxiety, and enhance sensory experiences.

By donating fidget toys, you're not just providing a simple item; you're offering a pathway to improved concentration and emotional regulation for these remarkable young individuals.

Your generosity will directly impact the lives of our students, helping them thrive academically and emotionally in an environment tailored to their unique needs. Together, let's empower these bright minds to reach their full potential.

Join us in supporting our students by donating fidget toys today. Your contribution will make a world of difference in their educational journey. Thank you for your kindness and support!"
