Starting All Over Again

Funded Oct 10, 2024

I just wanted to take a moment to say "THANK YOU", to everyone that used their hard earned money to donate to my project. Your kindness allowed the scholars in my class to receive valuable materials that have made our school days a little bit easier.

As you are aware, my class is made up of ten autistic students. Many of the items donated support their sensory and motor needs. The sensory seat has been a big hit in the class. Many of my scholars use it when they need to regulate and calm down. Many of the major behavior issues have decreased just by using the sensory seat as a motivator. Several of the items donated have helped some my scholars with improved handwriting skills as well. My favorite donation has been the wireless doorbell. Most of my scholars are improving their ability to independently transition from one task to another without multiple verbal prompts.

Some of the items that we originally selected were unavailable when we were ready to make our big purchase. Delayed doesn't always mean denied. We were able to substitute the unavailable items for some reflective vests that we now use during recess and gym outside. Your generous support now aids in ensuring that all of my scholars are visible outside in the busy school yard. This is essential with preventing them from possibly eloping from our designated space outside.

We look forward to using these donations for years to come. You all have really helped with enhancing the quality of education for my scholars. You are greatly appreciated.”

With gratitude,

Ms. Grazier
