    Thank you for believing in my students and for your generous donation to my students' future in becoming effective communicators! I truly appreciate your generous donation and support in helping my students progress in their speech and language therapy programming! There are not enough words to describe how giving the gift of speech and language and communication and making it possible for my students to succeed! Communication is essential throughout the school day and in life! Thank you for providing me the opportunity to support my students with the basic supplies that are essential for providing organized, efficient, and effective speech therapy programming. The binders, binder pockets, and bins now provide me easy/quick access to speech therapy materials for each and every student's individual needs. There are not enough words to describe how giving the gift of speech and language to children can open up the world to them and make it possible for these children to succeed in school, enjoy communicating with peers and adults, and mostly live life.”

  • Evidenced Based Practices Come to Life in Speech Therapy

    Funded Feb 13, 2025

    I am truly grateful for your donation and look forward to showing you how your generosity is making a positive impact on my students!"

    There are not enough words to describe how giving the gift of speech and language to children can open up the world to them and make it possible for these children to succeed in school, enjoy communicating with peers and adults, and mostly live life.

    Your donation has allowed me to purchase, print, and use evidence-based speech materials. I am so excited to be able to select specific materials for each of my students unique needs. This is such a blessing for me and my students. My speech students frequently require unique materials geared toward their individual needs and interests. I can now provide fun and engaging activities that specifically address each student's needs. In addition, my students are so very excited to take these activities home and practice with their families.

    Thank you so much for donating to my speech programming and impacting my students' lives!”

  • Time to "Taco" About it in Speech Therapy

    Funded May 8, 2024

    My students in speech therapy sessions are using all your generous donations in so many fun ways. We have had so much fun using our new toys within speech sound activities and expressive and receptive language activities too. For example, students that are practicing their speech sounds had so much fun with the ducks while learning to say the /k/ sound at the end of their words. The language students used the same ducks while learning to use words to make requests and while learning to follow directions. My language students love using the erasers for categorizing, describing, and labeling activities and then the speech sound students use the same item as a reward when saying a target speech sound. All the items have been such a blessing and a help when working with all my speech and language students within their therapy sessions.”

My students are coming from a high poverty area within a large city in the Midwest. They are eager to learn and be exposed to life experiences. My school is a unique public school, as it is a Montessori school for K-12th grade, in an inner city of a large city within a high poverty area. These students do not have much exposure to life's experiences. But my students are so excited to come to Miss. Cheryl's speech room and learn! My students come to school with smiles on their face ready to "do their work" and eager to learn. I love seeing these great smiles!
