  • Access to Cold Water for Students With Autism!

    Funded Feb 28, 2025

    I am excited to share with you how your generous contribution has made a significant impact on our classroom, especially for our students with autism. Thanks to your support, we were able to provide cold water through a new refrigerator—something many of our students need throughout the day to stay hydrated and comfortable.

    One specific project that has already benefited from the new fridge was a sensory break activity. Many of our students with autism have unique sensory needs, and staying cool and hydrated is essential to their comfort and focus. When the students had access to cold water during our afternoon sessions, it helped them stay calm and engaged. For example, during a hands-on math lesson, several students mentioned how much better they felt after taking a drink from the fridge, which allowed them to refocus and participate fully in the activity.

    Once again, thank you for your generosity. Your donation has truly made a difference, and I can already see the positive effects on our students every day. We're so grateful to have your support as we continue to help our students thrive!”

    With gratitude,

    Ms. Gancio

  • No Empty Stomachs in This Class

    Funded Feb 4, 2025

    I am excited to share the impact your generous donation has had on our classroom. Thanks to your support, we were able to provide nutritious snacks for our students with special needs, which has been a game-changer for their daily experience at school.

    Our students are now more focused, energized, and engaged in their lessons. For instance, during a recent hands-on science project, the students were able to fully participate without the usual hunger-related distractions. The snacks have not only nourished their bodies but have also contributed to a more positive and productive learning environment.”

My class consists of students in wheelchairs who have limited language or are non-verbal. With that said, I look for ways to keep them engaged long enough to explore the topic and hopefully walk away with an understanding of the concept. Our class is a special education classroom in a high need diverse area of New York. My school is part of the District 75 community which services students with severe disabilities and challenges.
