  • Curiosity in the ELS Classroom

    Funded Dec 18, 2024

    Thank you so much for your generous contribution to our DonorsChoose project, Curiosity in the ELS Classroom. Your support has made a profound impact on the lives of our incredible students with autism, opening up a world of opportunities for exploration, growth, and discovery. With your help, we’ve been able to provide meaningful and engaging resources that cater to the unique needs of our learners, fostering both their curiosity and their confidence. Your kindness sends a powerful message to our students: that their potential is seen and celebrated.

    In our classroom, we believe in creating an environment where every child feels supported, inspired, and encouraged to thrive. Thanks to your donation, our students have access to sensory-friendly tools, adaptive learning materials, and hands-on experiences that allow them to fully engage with their education. These resources are not just supplies; they are bridges to communication, connection, and understanding. You have not only supported their learning but also enriched their daily lives in ways that will leave a lasting impact. On behalf of myself, my students, and their families, I want to express our deepest gratitude for your commitment to their success.

    With heartfelt appreciation,

    David Ruffner
