Teacher Mini-Grant Update: Sensory Room at KES

At Kutztown Elementary School, six teachers across grades K-5 applied together for a mini-grant to furnish a de-escalation room.

This mini grant project was designed to support students in de-escalating and self-regulating their sensory needs. The new tools will help students learn to calm down with privacy and dignity while allowing classmates to continue their school day with minimal disruption.

These pictures show the new furniture and sensory items in use at KES.

Thank you to our generous donors for making it possible for the Education Foundation to support Kutztown Elementary School's effort in creating an effective de-escalation room. With your help, students now have access to the necessary tools and resources to develop essential self-regulation skills, fostering a more inclusive and supportive learning environment for all.
