My Project

Space for all of our amazing students and programs are very limited this year! We are having to think outside the box to meet all the needs of our students!

With the items in this project I hope to create a welcoming and comfortable space my students will thrive in.

Cleaning supplies to keep them protected from those pesky germs, and organization items to transition smoothly between tasks.

Fidget bands for our chairs, also help our many kids who struggle with keeping their minds focused if their bodies cannot be moving.

Amazing holiday books to add a little mix of fun during the change of seasons, and last (but not least), treasure box items to reward excellent behaviors on Fridays!

Our students come from all walks of life, but at least while they are here in my presence I would love you to partner with me to give them a safe and comfortable space to thrive!
