My Project

I am a special education teacher in a pre-k through sixth grade school. I am looking for items to help enhance their learning experiences. I have a wonderful group of kids that deserve the best. I have chosen some sensory items, alternative seating options and new chairs that would help our classroom become more successful and inviting. Any help you can give is greatly appreciated. We are a small school in a great community. Thank you for taking the time to consider helping my students. I love my job and love seeing how many wonderful people with amazing hearts there are in this world.
