Cooking Up Life Skills
Funded Apr 27, 2024Thank you for your help! Thanks to you my students will have hands on opportunities to practice math skills such as measurement, daily living skills and be creative in their new home skills-based classroom center. We are most excited because this proposed kitchenette is the beginning of a coffee cart business we will open next school year.”

Connect the Dots Box
Funded Sep 3, 2020Thanks to your generosity, the supplies donated to our classroom helped curve the impact of distance learning.Serving students and families with moderate/severe disabilities in a pandemic afflicted school year meant that many parents were unable to travel within the community.
The supplies were hand delivered to each individual home. During our unboxing activity, students were eager to pull all the new supplies out of their handy supply caddy. The parents were also joyful in watching their child unbox their supplies.
With the materials we were able to build math manipulatives such as ten-frames and numberlines that were customized for each student's individual needs. The color washi tape made them high-contrast and accessible and easy to use. We also created art that we uploaded onto our online art gallery. We are so grateful that we created these experiences for our students with your help.”

Funded Apr 8, 2019Thank you so much for your contribution to our classroom! Having a color printer in class has proven to be a game changer in student engagement
Our students experience challenges in interacting with their environment and engage more with hands on activities. Having a color printer allows me to print colorful material to enhance their communication devices, enrich the classroom with colorful print-rich visuals, and engaging matching and sorting activities that can be used over and over to support learning and practice skills. Thank you for supporting us and others in our journey in education.”
