Grant awarded to Aline-Cleo teacher

New things are coming to Aline-Cleo Elementary thanks to a grant funded by 4RKids.

New special education teacher Gena Davis applied for the grant to help create a Sensory room.

"While the room is being designed for our more special needs students, it would be available to any of the students in the building," she said. "Our students with autism will use the room the most. This room will provide a place to take a sensory break when a student is in need. It will also be the perfect place for our students with ADHD to collect and center themselves."

Some of the items to be received are a yoga hammock with stand, light projector and fidget style stress toys. Davis said information on projects she is working towards can be found at http://www.donorschoose.org/gena.davis.
