• Autism: Let’s Garden Together!

  Happy Spring!!

  April Showers bring May flowers....or so they say! Well, we have been planting and growing thanks to you! We were so fortunate to have our project funded with your support, and now we are starting to see our plants come to life! It's been an exciting journey watching them grow little by little.

  Not only were the children happy to see what was happening day to day, but the support staff have had a great time helping with this project as well.

  Thank you for allowing us the opportunity to participate in growing our mini gardens in school! We appreciate you!”

• Autism: Personal Care & Hygiene

  Funded Jan 23, 2025

  Thank you for your support! So far, we have been putting all of these resources to good use! First of all, our students are truly enjoying the variety of snacks! We have had a lot of fun sharing the goodies with our classmates. We have also been keeping our room smelling really good and keeping our hands nice and clean. The extra clothes have come in very handy lately because sometimes our students need a change of clothes.

  Everyone has been excited to receive and utilize the items received. We are so very appreciate of your help! Thank you so much.

• Autism: We Need Snacks!

  Funded Oct 18, 2024

  Thank you so much for your support! My students are big time snackers and they were all too happy to be able to choose their own snacks!

  At times I went from class to class to distribute snacks to the children. On other occasions, the students came to our mobile snack cart to pick up a treat for themselves.

  It was fun and exciting to watch them walk away with their little bags of cookies, animal crackers, fruit snacks, chips, etc.

  This could not have happened without your generous support. Thank you!”

• Autism: Lunar New Year 2025!

  Funded Jan 17, 2025

  Thank you for helping us celebrate LUNAR NEW YEAR – the year of the Snake!

  Everyone in our entire school had a great time participating in this celebration! A large percentage of our students come from an Asian background and it was great to see their excitement as we celebrated with them. Together, all of us enjoyed the music, decorations, customs, and foods associated with this holiday. We made costumes and crafts to display in our parade and made noise with instruments as each class walked by.

  We gave out red envelopes and the students received activity booklets, stickers, and coupons from Panda Express to share with their families! Thanks to your generous contributions, we were able to learn about and celebrate Lunar New Year in style!! Thank you for your support!”

• Autism: Mobile School Store - Financial Literacy

  Funded Oct 3, 2024

  Thank you for supporting our mobile school store project! We are so excited to start our school store on wheels...We want to have a place for our students to shop for fun, seasonal, and holiday items. Our students need to learn about the basics of finances and the magnetic play money, calculator cash register, labeled coin banks, and digital coin bank will help us do just that...but in a hands-on, fun, and practical way!

  I want my students to identify different coins and bills, sort coins, and use their purchasing power to shop! And every time they buy something, they can hit the "money button" to hear a "ka-ching!" sound!!

  Our mobile school store will have labeled bins (thanks to our handy label maker), and the students will be able to see prices on the products for sale. They will "see" their money go into the coin bank jars, and later we will add up all the coins using our digital coin bank!! We're also developing our fine motor skills when we put our coins into the coin slots and when we color the pages in our ABC Finance Coloring Book!”

• Autism: Let's Make and Show Our Art!

  Funded Apr 25, 2024

  We are so grateful for your support at the start of this school year! We have been able to use the resources to make art and show off our art. We are even motivating others! We are excited to get other teachers and students involved in their own projects and your donations have been a source of inspiration for the entire school. Some of the items like the paint pens allowed us to explore new ways of doing things. We explore different cultures and made projects that were colorful and fun. We had a blast! Thank you so much!”
