Hungry Hungry Kiddos
Funded Mar 27, 2018Thank you for your donation of snacks for my students this Spring. We even have some left for the early fall (expiration dates were double checked and okay'ed)!
The students unpacked the boxes and organized them within the classroom. They were also in charge or restocking the snack drawer with back-up snacks when the drawer got low. One student in particular took the lead on making the snacks all organized and nicely arranged.
This supply greatly helped my students make it through the remainder of their day and year. Often the snacks were consumed during the last period of the day before sports or after school programming. But at times they needed to be accessed earlier in the day or in addition to lunch. I know having this basic need available helped many students not get "hangry" and finish out their day more focused and successful. We greatly appreciate your giving in order to make this resource become available!”

This classroom project was brought to life by The Peterson Family and 4 other donors.Funky Seating for Funky Students
Funded Mar 2, 2018We were able to wrap up our year with our amazing new classroom seating thanks to your generous donation! We can't thank you enough for donating to our classroom in order to provide a variety of seating options for the students.
The students were so excited when the packages came and took charge in putting together the chairs. While some used the printed directions and some figured it out for themselves, we eventually got all chairs inflated and safe to sit on!
I have found these chairs to be a preferred seat for multiple students and interest from other teachers has grown in order to add these chairs to their classroom. Thank you again for your donation in order to add some funky seating for my funky students! The chairs are deflated for the summer months and stored but these chairs are durable and will definitely last and be used in the years to come!”

Flexible Seating for Squirmy Middle Schoolers in SpEd Classroom
Funded Dec 5, 2017Since receiving the new seating options my students have been more excited to be in my classroom. When the boxes arrived, the students were happy to spend the afternoon taking them out of the packaging and assembling. The standing desks required greater assembly and teamwork, so it was a good opportunity for them to collaborate.
They all have figured out what their preferred chair is. They have also shown that they are understanding their needs more and moving between seating options on certain days when they need it. We are very grateful to have the variety of options that we have!”

Fidget = Fine But If It's a Distraction = Mine
Funded Dec 12, 2017Thank you very much for your donation so that my student can have a variety of fidget options for them to use. They were so excited as the packages slowly started arriving. They would ask in the front office each day to see if we had any new packages as they were each shipped separately. Once in our room, the students spent time organizing them and exploring their benefits.
The students continue to use these during class in my room and have some preferred ones that travel with them to other classes. The students and myself both are very grateful for your support towards their social and emotional learning needs.”
