Building Hand Skills for Learning and Life!

Funded Sep 4, 2020

There are no words to describe how grateful my students and I are for your generosity during one of the most difficult times we have encountered as a community - and as a nation! As you might imagine, it took a small army to help assemble the bag of therapy supplies! With every completed bag, my helpers and I envisioned the smiles on the faces of my students - and the children did NOT disappoint! Each student expressed their excitement at learning that all the fun supplies and goodies were their own to use during sessions. The appreciation from their parents and teachers were comparable to the kids, as they knew the impact these "gifts" would have on their children.

The supplies continue to be used daily to help make Occupational Therapy fun - and more effective! Each student has learned responsibility as they have to take special care of their OT goody bag. With their own putty, fidgets, visual motor and craft materials, sessions are able to be tailored to meet the students needs - and equally important, are left with the student to use and practice with between therapy sessions. Particularly during the Covid 19 pandemic, the ability to share supplies was impossible. Your generous gift helped make this turbulent time for my students a bit easier - and for this, we all thank you from the bottom of our hearts. We will never forget your gifts!”

With gratitude,

Ms. Kathy
