It will streamline scheduling, help keep staff aligned, and make our meeting flow more organized and efficient, something that directly benefits the students and families we serve.\r\n\r\nWe look forward to using these tools to build students' independence and time-awareness skills as we introduce new lessons and routines.

This not only builds independence but also prepares them for future work and home routines.\r\n\r\nYour support may seem simple, but it has made a powerful difference.

Thanks to your generosity, our Life Skills classroom is now home to an Infinity Game Board and a Nex Playground and the joy these resources have brought is beyond words.\r\n\r\nThe day the boxes arrived, my students' faces lit up with pure excitement. The Infinity Game Board quickly became a favorite during small group time, encouraging turn-taking, communication, and teamwork. One of my students, who usually struggles to engage in group activities, sat patiently waiting for their turn, smiling the entire time. That's the power of making learning fun and interactive.\r\n\r\nThe Nex Playground has been a huge hit for movement breaks and motor skill development. It gives our students a safe, exciting way to move their bodies, improve coordination, and burn off energy before returning to class ready to learn. Just last week, two students who often have trouble with transitions eagerly lined up for their turn, then returned to work calm and focused.\r\n\r\nThese resources have opened up new opportunities for social interaction, sensory regulation, and skill-building. Next, we'll be incorporating them into themed learning days, where students will rotate through stations pairing physical movement with problem-solving games to strengthen both mind and body.\r\n\r\nYour gift has created more than just play, it's built confidence, connection, and joy for our students every single day.

They had their journals with them. One student, when asked how they felt about our writing class, cried tears of joy.

For many of my students with significant disabilities, learning to enjoy books is just as important as learning to read them, and your donation is helping us do both.\r\n\r\nReading time in our classroom is joyful, hands-on, and highly interactive. We use visuals, adapted texts, read-alouds, and even movement to bring stories to life. \r\n\r\nYour gift has made a lasting impact.
