Our school exists to serve students who are struggling with reading, writing and math skills and require the information to be packaged differently. Students are often at our school for three years, and then they mainstream back to a traditional public or private school armed with new skills that will help them to be successful in any setting. Children with dyslexia are very intelligent, but they require specific academic interventions in order to be independent, lifelong learners.  These students are your future entrepreneurs and dreamers who think outside the box. We want to foster that spirit and help them to reach their full potential. Research over the past two years has shown a significant increase in stress, anxiety, and depression in children. The average age of diagnosis for anxiety is age 6, and more than half of students will be diagnosed before age 18. With your gift, we are still working towards our goal of adding a mindfulness and mediation room to each of our buildings. We will use items that are scientifically backed to reduce stress and anxiety in children. We will use herbal teas, mood pod chairs, sensory light bins, Budda boards, breathing techniques, music, and more. We are also raising money for core strengthening playground equipment for students with autism, video production equipment for our high school students, instruments for our elementary and middle school students, and 28 Chromebooks for our elementary students. Thank you in advance for your gift today which is helping us achieve and exceed these goals.
