$25 for student graduation 

Hello,
The exciting time of graduation season is upon us. There are many students who are preparing for graduation, but are experiencing financial difficulties covering the cost of their cap and gown. If possible, please consider assisting a few deserving students with covering the cost of their cap and gown. Cost is $162.50 per student. 

A grandparent is in need of help with purchasing her grand-daughter clothes for the spring/summer months. Due to the grandmother's limited income, she is not able to provide her grand-child with the clothes that she needs. The grandparent requested a gift card, so the student can pick out clothes that she would like to wear to school since the weather has changed. The family will be thankful for any help given.

Greetings! We are in need of clothes for our clothing closet. These clothes assist us when students have an accident or get wet or dirty and need new clothes while at school. We are currently in need of girls and boys shorts as the weather is warming up again. We also need socks for students. I have posted some Amazon links as an idea to help you shop for the items that we need. However, we are thankful for any donations of new shorts and socks. Thanks!

What we need:

6 year old (Male) Special Needs student  is currently in need of size 16/18 (Husky) clothing — both shirts and pants. As we head into warmer weather, stretch Spring/Summer items would be especially helpful to keep him comfortable throughout the day.

If you have anything new or gently used that you’re willing to donate, it would truly mean so much. Thank you for supporting one of our local kiddos and helping make his days a little easier!

We are creating a small calming sensory tent at school for a student who becomes overwhelmed and needs a quiet space to regulate emotions. Through observation, we have learned that this student responds especially well to LOL-themed items, which help her feel comfortable, safe, and more willing to use calming strategies.

To help make this space effective for her, we are requesting a few LOL sensory items. An Amazon link to the some example items has been provided below. Having these familiar and preferred items in the tent will help the student calm down, reset, while remaining in the classroom.

Any support in helping us provide these items would be greatly appreciated and will make a meaningful difference for this student. Thank you for helping us create a supportive space for her at school. 💗✨

Male student in need of knee walker due to broken ankle injury.

Our school is hoping to obtain a pink calming tent for a student who greatly benefits from having a quiet, safe space to regulate emotions during the school day. This student sometimes becomes overwhelmed and needs a small, comfortable area where they can step away briefly, calm down, and return to learning ready to succeed. A pink tent would provide a gentle, comforting environment that helps the student feel secure and supported while practicing self-regulation skills. Any support in helping us provide this calming space would be greatly appreciated and would make a meaningful difference in this child’s school experience. I have attached a link below of something I feel would work.
