Grants Awarded

Message boards and Mailboxes Building a kinder school climate, one note at a time! Thanks to this FPEF grant, our student Peer Leaders are introducing door-mounted message boards and mailboxes across the school to boost positive interactions between students and staff. Whether dropping a note of encouragement in a mailbox or reading an uplifting daily prompt on a teacher's door, students will engage in daily practices of gratitude, respect, and community-building.

Therapy BlazePods Movement meets motivation! This grant provides specialized BlazePod light bundles to transform traditional therapy exercises into exciting, visual games. Designed to support students receiving school-based PT and OT, these smart pods challenge children to respond quickly to light patterns—sharpening body awareness, coordination, visual tracking, and focus. It’s an innovative, multi-sensory way to help our students achieve their IEP goals with a smile.

FastTrack Scooters This grant brings a set of 12 indoor scooters to the middle school PE curriculum to power inclusive, high-energy fitness games! Designed to support students of all physical abilities, these scooters promote teamwork, motor skills, and active participation for every 6th, 7th, and 8th grader.

Slab Roller for Ceramics This grant brings a slab roller to the art room to expand the ceramics curriculum! By allowing students to create perfectly even slabs of clay, this new tool helps young artists move beyond basic coil pottery to build a wider variety of custom ceramic sculptures, including bowls, vases, and relief masks.

Drum practice pads This grant brings 15 drum practice pads into the music room to support bucket drumming and student composition projects! By dampening classroom noise, these pads give students the freedom to practice independently with headphones, collaborate effectively in small groups, and refine their own musical creations in a focused, low-distraction setting.

Wobble Stools This grant provides ergonomic wobble stools for students in the SOAR and ELA Enrichment classrooms. By offering a comfortable flexible seating option, these stools give students a controlled outlet for subtle movement—helping them self-regulate, build focus, and thrive in a comfortable learning environment.
