Thanks to your contributions, our students now have access to magnatiles, sensory vests, and sensory clay—tools that are making a real difference in their ability to self-regulate, focus, and engage with learning.\r\n\r\nMagnatiles allow students to explore, build, and problem-solve in a hands-on, creative way. Through this open-ended play, students develop patience, planning skills, and the ability to manage frustration when pieces don't fit as expected. Sensory vests provide gentle, calming pressure, helping students who experience anxiety or sensory overload to feel grounded and secure, which allows them to participate more fully in classroom activities. Sensory clay gives students a tactile outlet to release stress and channel energy, supporting focus, emotional regulation, and fine motor development.\r\n\r\nThese tools are especially valuable for students who need additional support managing emotions and sensory input. By providing safe, structured ways to calm themselves and stay engaged, our students are learning self-awareness, self-control, and persistence—skills that extend far beyond the classroom. Your support is directly helping children feel safe, capable, and confident, creating a more inclusive and empowering learning environment for all.\r\n\r\nWe cannot thank you enough for investing in the growth, well-being, and success of our students.
