Students in our wing, for the most part, experience learning disabilities. We work hard to provide multimodal, exciting materials that motivate kids to try new things. Your gift was used in the spring of last year and will help us to prepare for the new 2026-2027 school year. The printer also features a copier that we can use at a moment's notice if one of our students needs a new copy or we need to make a photocopy of the work they have produced for our records. Before getting this device, we had to trek down to our school printer, which is nowhere near our rooms. This created a problem for us because we could not leave the students alone in the classroom.\r\nThis fall, we plan to continue using the printer for the same reasons, as well as for colorful posters and classroom projects we were not able to do before because we did not have access to this device. Although not directly in our students' hands, please know it is being used daily for them, creating a much better learning experience.
