Help Bring a Sensory Wall to My Washington School.

Help me give my students the the opportunity to have access to a sensory wall to meet their unique needs. We have so many wonderful students that would benefit from having more sensory resources in the classroom.

Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

Celebrate Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.

My Project

I am trying to help get a sensory wall for a Kindergarten classroom at Washington School. We have many students with sensory needs that would benefit from having one. We strive to make sure all students feel safe and comfortable while at school. Some students need extra support and resources to help them throughout the day. We want to make sure students have access to what they need to meet their academic and social emotional neeeds.

Please consider donating to help support a wonderful school and classroom that will benefit so many.
