School: Eagle Hills Elementary

Wish Delivered: Special Education supplies

Teacher Zuzana Ludvik says "All of these items will allow our special education department to set up a social skills room for our students. This room is a little different than a sensory room because we focus on social skills, specifically for our students on the autism spectrum. The beanbags, rug, plants, bookshelf, wall decor, baskets, lamps, and wall sensory decor will allow us to set up a calm, neutral space for the students. The additional items such as legos, play doh, weighted stuffed animals, board game, and sensory stones will provide students with activities and sensory items. Students will be grateful for a calming space we can hold our daily social skills groups in."

School: Pillar Falls Elementary

Wish Delivered: Classroom Books

Teacher Heather Cardinale says " Listen While You Learn is a reading program introduced by the school librarian during the fall of the 2022-2023 school year, thanks to the generous support of the Twin Falls Education Foundation. The program is available to Kindergarten through 4th-grade students at Pillar Falls Elementary School. My wish list will support the growth and continuation of the Listen While You Learn program, which engages students and promotes a love of reading. This will be achieved by purchasing resources such as VOX Books and Immersive Reality (IR) Books. Unfortunately, due to budget cuts and a lack of funding, we have not been able to complete the purchase of all necessary materials to reach as many students as desired."

School: Idaho Arts Charter

Wish Delivered: Desks with storage

Teacher Tracy Curd says "Stuffed like sardines! My students and I are trapped and confined daily because of the enormous and awkwardly sized student tables in our already small classroom. I am a third grade teacher at Idaho Arts Charter School, a Title One school and school district in itself that does not receive the usual funding and support that other schools do in the public school districts of Idaho. We are desperately seeking funding that could supply our class and future classes with the learning environment and appropriate seating they deserve. There are many limitations and obstacles we have tried to overcome this year due to the tables, with minimal success."
