These materials have done so much more than fill a shelf; they have become the foundation for connection, growth, and genuine friendship for our students in grades first through fifth.\r\nBecause of your generosity, I have been able to increase the number of Peer-Mediated Instruction and Intervention (PMII) groups I facilitate each week. In these groups, we use the games you provided as a \"social bridge\" between neurotypical peers and students with autism.\r\nEvery week, our students eagerly anticipate the \"New Game of the Week.\" While they think they are just playing, they are actually hard at work mastering various prosocial skills such as collaboration, problem-solving, empathy, sportsmanship and conversation. All of these skills teach our students with autism how to navigate rules and work toward shared goals, how to explore their peers' interests and how to win with grace and lose with resilience. \r\nThe most beautiful results of my PMII groups are happening outside of my classroom. We are seeing the impact of PMII translate into the real world where peers are spontaneously helping and advocating for students with autism across the school environment. There has also been a wonderful increase in inclusive social circles, including students with autism being invited to, and attending their peers' birthday parties.\r\nYour support has proven that when students are given the right tools, inclusion happens naturally. Because of the success we've seen this year, I plan to expand our PMII groups next year to ensure even more students have access to these inclusive opportunities.\r\nThank you for believing in our students and for providing the fun that makes this hard work possible. You haven't just donated games; you've donated the opportunity for a child to make their very first friend.\r\nWith my deepest gratitude,\r\nSomer Heskett\r\nAutism Consultant / Cascade School District","fullyFundedDate":1770767736761,"projectUrl":"project/peer-mediated-instruction-and-interventi/9850539/","projectTitle":"Peer-Mediated Instruction and Intervention","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Heskett","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-5_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9304528"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_88088","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":576,"numTeachers":30,"percentFrplEligible":66,"percentAsian":1,"percentBlack":0,"percentWhite":67,"percentIndigenous":2,"percentLatinx":25,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"K - 5","studentTeacherRatio":"19.2:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"UNCLASSIFIED","ncesMetroType":"SUBURB_LARGE"},"inStateSupporters":71.8,"schoolId":88088,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Aumsville Elementary School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Aumsville Elementary School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/oregon/cascade-school-district-5/aumsville-elementary-school/88088"}
