My Project

I am an occupational therapist at a Title 1 school. We are a public school in a high-poverty area with the majority of the students receiving free or reduced-price meals at school. My students come from various ethnic backgrounds. The children on my caseload are in both general education and special education classrooms. These students have challenges like Autism, ADHD, and speech/language delays.

My students need to develop their fine motor skills through play.

The fine motor game such as these requested board games will help them work on these skills in a fun way.

Ms. Cesaire PS 251 Paerdegat Grades 3-5

Celebrate Black teachers and kids! This project supports a Black teacher or a school where the majority of students are Black.

Equity Focus

At this school, more than 50% of students are Black, Latino, and/or Native American, and more than 50% come from low-income households. Learn how your donation to this school supports a more equitable education.

This project will directly impact historically underfunded classrooms.
