It may seem like a small task but the donation to our school has provided a calming space for children needing to concentrate. We are located in a low socio economic area and our school doesn't receive a lot of state or local funding. Your donation has made an important impact. \r\nWe have quite a few spED children that use these study carols to \"take breaks\". There are coping skills posted inside and they do actually take their time to review them. Prior to having these study carols it was overwhelming and over stimulating for these specific students when they needed to come into the office. It has made an enormous difference in the amount of time it takes for these students to get back to their calm states. \r\n\r\nLincoln Orchard Mesa is beyond grateful that you have decided to make a difference in our school and for our spED children.
