• Success with Sensory Tools!

  Funded Sep 7, 2022

  Thank you ever so much for your gratitude and kindness towards our classroom. My students were excited to open and receive the Donors Choose packages full of new sensory items.

  Your generous donations have helped our classroom tremendously.

  The sensory tools have helped my students relax, stay calm, and focus during our daily activities. My students enjoy them because they provide comfort and security to help them when they need it. My students especially love the sensory ball. The sensory ball is designed to give students a hug. They may feel frustrated, or sad and they hug the sensory ball and they try to relax and and stay calm.

  Thank you again for generous donation and supporting the needs of my students.”
