  • Transition to Movement

    Funded May 8, 2024

    Thank you so much for your generous donation! Your donation added so much to our therapy room, allowing the students to move and thrive. My students love using the tunnel and scooter board during their time in the therapy room, and we use them in a variety of ways, to play games, complete puzzles, and more! These activities, as well as the dressing board you so graciously funded, help strengthen my students body and minds so that they can learn and pay attention in class. The weighted bear is loved by all and helps the younger students by joining them on their way back to their classroom, providing comfort and security during transition time. Thank you for helping my students grow and thrive! We truly appreciate your support!”

    With gratitude,

    Ms. Ruth

  • Game and Learn

    Funded Dec 30, 2023

    My students were so excited to when they saw all of the new games that you helped to donate! They enjoyed exploring and playing with the button art, Robot Face Race, stacking animals, stickers, mini muffin match, and all of the games you helped to contribute to our room. We even used the stickers as a great writing activity, to peel and stick the stickers, and then write a description of the sticker. This really motivated my students and got them excited about writing!

    All of the games you helped to donate are being used to build important core skills for my students. These skills are working to increase the communication between the hands, eyes, and brain, which is so important when reading, writing, and even following directions and paying attention in class.

    Thank you for helping to make our learning fun and exciting, and helping my students build the skills they need to be independent and succeed in school to the best of their ability. We truly appreciate your support!”

    With gratitude,

    Ms. Ruth

  • Game On! Play and Learn

    Funded May 4, 2023

    On behalf of my students, I don't know how to thank you enough! My students were so excited to explore the new games. These games are now an integral part of our therapy room. I incorporate these games into our occupational therapy sessions to help make learning fun.

    The games that you helped to fund help teach my students important skills related to fine motor, vision, organization, and memory. These core skills help them to be more independent in the classroom, and ultimately, in their daily lives. Thank you again for helping to make our learning fun and exciting!”

    With gratitude,

    Ms. Ruth
