Calming Area
Funded May 9, 2023I wanted to express my heartfelt gratitude for your generous donations to our classroom. My students were so excited to come back to school and see the new and improved calming area. The extra seating and larger carpet area is perfect for my students to have a safe place to regroup or do their independent work quietly.
The speaker has made a great difference in our learning environment. The clarity of sound and the enhanced engagement of the students has significantly improved our lessons.
Your thoughtfulness not only benefits me as a teacher but also every student who walks through our classroom door.”

This classroom project was brought to life by SONIC Foundation and 5 other donors.Comfy and Cozy Reading Area
Funded Nov 19, 2022My students LOVE the new cozy reading area! Your donations were very helpful in completing my vision of having a place for my students to not only read in comfort, but to have a place to unwind and relax.
When I told them that we would be getting a special reading area, they weren't all that excited. When they saw the finished area, they were so surprised and happy! The rug is so soft and the bookcase fits perfectly in the small area. The big hit though, is the chairs! They think they are the best!
Thank you for giving my students a beautiful place to learn.”

We Are Going Back To School!
Funded Sep 23, 2021First of all, thank you all again for donating to our classroom. It means so much to us. My students were so excited with "unboxing." They were so excited to see all of the push bubble fidget toys and the puzzles. Both of which help with fine motor skills and visual planning. The coloring books were a big hit too.
The second box arrived with the new train set and the dressing dolls to help with buttoning, zipping, and tying! All great skills needed!
Your donations will help my students achieve many life skills goals!”
