• A Spark of Joe

  Funded Sep 20, 2023

  Thank you so much for your support. With your help, we now have a nice fridge/cooler for our cold drinks. We can also use our ice makers to fill cups with ice to use for cold drinks or to make iced coffee with our iced coffee maker too. We have more customers now that we have different types of drinks. I hope you like the pictures of some of my students who enjoy working in the coffee shop.

  I hope to get more support with my other projects in the future. I truly appreciate all that you do for my students.”

• Sensory in Motion

  Funded Feb 3, 2022

  Thank you all for your generous donations. This project was able to help my students who needed to move around. They would take a break and then would use the chairs to rock them as well as use them as calming tools. The students loved the rocker chair with the balls inside, it would make noises as they used it.

  These items greatly impacted one of my students who had very bad anxiety. He would need to move constantly and the chairs helped him a lot. Thank you all for donating and allowing my students to use the chairs as their sensory tools in motion.”

• Enhancing Social and Academic Skills through Coffee and More

  Funded Jul 17, 2023

  I would like to say thank you once more for your support. My students have adapted very well to making and delivering coffee and other drinks to the staff of our school. They love working in the coffee shop that we named, 'A Spark of Joe'. The smiles it brings on their faces are priceless when they work and deliver the coffee. It also brightens up the days for our staff who love to see the kids and give them hugs or hi-fives.

  Before the students went into our room for the coffee shop, we read a social story on coffee carts and discussed it all. Then we had a tour before they started working. Once they went in, they were in awe of the equipment, seeing the machines and their aprons made them feel important. One of my students even had his mom record him at home making coffee for her.

  Overall, my students are using their words more, and talking with the staff. Their confidence has grown since we started our coffee shop with your generous donations. I appreciate you all for everything and cannot wait for what comes next.”

• Leveling up in a AUsome Math World!

  Funded May 16, 2019

  Thank you so much for your support, my students use the magnetic ten frame to add and subtract integers. The fraction puzzles add a fun twist to learning math, they have to find the correct piece that matches and then say the fraction. Even my level 2 students love to use the fractions puzzle. The math whiz is a fun game to help my students practice addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division facts during independent learning time.

  When my students saw the materials, they were happy, especially with the math wiz because they love playing games to learn. It makes noise and they loved that.

  My next project is some sensory movement chairs that would benefit my students who need that extra sensory movement.”
