Swing for Sensory Garden for Emotional Needs Students

Help me give my students a new swing for their sensory garden. This garden will stimulate their senses and provide a quiet, peaceful place for them to relax.

FULLY FUNDED! Mr. Lader's classroom raised $245

My Project

Our high school LEO Club is joining other organizations at school to create a sensory garden for our students.

This garden will be designed to engage and stimulate the five senses: sight, smell, sound, taste, and touch and create a peaceful environment for our students.

This swing will be just one of the stations in the garden. Over time, we will add many more stations to the garden, including plants like mint, basil, lamb's ear and lavender, a splashing fountain, and more.

Exceptional needs students who are experiencing emotional overload will be able to come to the garden for peaceful recovery.
