2024 Grant Winner
Amanda Bork-Hickey at John Harris Elementary received $1,456.59 for her proposal, “Sensory Success Opportunities.”
She will purchase mold and play sensory sand, magnetic drawing boards, rainbow liquid sensory viewers, squish and squeeze sensory beads, maze cubes, discovery bags, gel floor tiles, and sensory wall panels that can be used by students to help with self-regulation strategies. In the application, she wrote, “These supplies will enhance student success during the school day and provide them an opportunity to learn with the necessary supports to relieve their sensory needs. We want students to be regulated, focused, and engaged, and if we can help support sensory-seeking needs, we need a wide variety of materials to do that.”
