  • Play and Grow: Hands-On Fun for Preschoolers With Autism!

    Funded Feb 17, 2025

    A million thanks for your generosity in supporting my classroom! Your kindness means the world to me and my students, and I truly appreciate your support. Thanks to you, my preschoolers will have the hands-on tools they need to strengthen their fine motor skills, engage in imaginative play, and build confidence in a fun and meaningful way. Your donation will make such a difference in their learning and development. From the bottom of my heart—thank you.”

    With gratitude,

    Ms. Finch

  • Help Finch's Students Fidget to Focus.

    Funded Apr 13, 2019

    I cannot thank you enough for your extremely generous donations. I appreciate your support in responding to my fundraising goal of 'Helping Finch’s Students Fidget to Focus.' Because of your generosity, my students have tactile toys to maintain focus and concentrate when they are distracted. I can’t wait to see the look of pure joy when they bounce on their bouncy balls or jump into the pea pod to calm them down when they become upset. Teaching special needs students is a great pleasure of mine and I now have the learning tools to help them become successful life-long learners. Thank you again for giving my students the tools they need to support their sensory needs.”

    With gratitude,

    Ms. Finch

    This classroom project was brought to life by PNC Grow Up Great® and one other donor.
Sensory play allows children with Autism to relieve stress and anxiety. Fidget toys will keep my students occupied and not focus on outside environmental stimuli such as lights and sounds. It will give them a sense of control over their environment. The donated items will give my students a sense of normalcy as they have difficulty exploring the world around them. The Switch-Adapted toys will have a positive impact on students' fine motor skills and visual focus. The Kinetic Sand will give students tactile input. These items will greatly help my student focus! Fidget to Focus will provide students with a way to succeed cognitively, emotionally and physically. Thanks!
