  • Oven = Skills and Independence For Students with Special Needs

    Funded Oct 16, 2023

    Wow! After all these years I am still blown away by the generosity of people like you. Thank you for your support. Thank you for understanding that school is about more than books and traditional subjects like Math or English. Thank you for understanding that life skills for students with special needs are academic skills. Far to often these students get overlooked for the latest fad. So again thank you for your support and powerful statement that all students deserve opportunities to learn at school.”

  • Dryer Eliminates Barriers to School Access for Rural Community

    Funded Nov 28, 2023

    Thank You!! It is amazing how much a dryer has affected my students. No one wants to be the stinky or dirty kid. This dryer allows us to make sure they do not become that kid. Not only does the dryer help clean their clothes, but also builds up their self confidence. So thank you for realizing that school supplies are more than books and pencils. That students have other needs that are equally important. Thank you for supporting my students. Your support is very humbling. Again, thank you for your amazing support.”

  • Ready, Set, Learn! Bricks Puts Learning in the Fastlane

    Funded Nov 9, 2023

    Thank You. As you can tell by the pictures the students loved getting their hands on these sets. After they followed the instructions to build the set they let their imaginations fly. The creativity and confidence I saw from them was amazing. They even started creating challenges and games for each other. Thank you for providing my students such a great opportunity. Thank you for standing up and proving all students regardless of disability deserve hands on learning opportunities. Again thank you for your support.”

  • Track = Opportunity and Life Lesons

    Funded May 5, 2023

    Wow! These uniforms make such a difference! Th looks on the students' faces were priceless when they saw them for the first time. To know someone cared enough to share with them was very touching. They all seemed to walk a little taller with the new uniforms on. Amazing how big an impact small things can have. Thank you. I cannot say that enough. I continue to be humbled by the support I receive on here from people like you. With so much negativity in the world it feels great to see rays of hope and positivity. Thank you.”

    Thank you! Your generosity is very humbling. I am always amazed by the support we receive for our students from DonorsChoose.org.

I teach students with mild to high support needs at an inner city school in Indiana. The community around the school is a very high needs area. The average household income is under $40,000 per year. Despite the many challenges the focus of the school is to prepare our students for post secondary life. The aim is to give them the skills need to be as independent as possible.
