What a LOVELY surprise today when we received 2 boxes containing items carefully and thoughtfully chosen and donated to my Special Needs (severe/moderate students with Autism) students!!!!!! The gifts are just what we need. My students are "non-verbal", and require a great variety of motivators and rewards in order to learn. This can be very costly, and they are the supplies that I use the most (vs. pencils and paper that the average teacher uses). My Santa sent us 2 HUGE BOXES of small cookies (yum- small cookies are the BEST as we can use a small piece and not fill them up by the end of the lesson!), HUGE box of Gushers, and, an immediate favorite of the kids, A TALKING, DANCING MICKEY MOUSE!!!! The eyes lit up and they really responded with excitement!!!! Thank you!!! I can get a variety of behaviors/responses from my students just to let them push the button and interact with Mickey! This toy will help kids understand "yes/no" by asking if they want to play with him!!! They learn "yes" very quickly!! My Santa may or may not know, but in 2001 I was blessed with one of 3 Special Education teacher awards from Disney's American Teacher Awards!!! So, I actually AM a Disney Teacher and anything Disney like our Mickey toy brings back many warm feelings for my self! So I thank you from the bottom my heart, Mr. Fairweather. I so appreciate the thoughtfulness that went into the supplies and they are already being put to good use. You have made a difference in the lives of some children who are wonderful and amazing. Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!!! Miss Cat Kelly
