We Want to Cook Up some Good Books!

Help me give my students a chance to showcase their creativity and build a Little Free Library with this oven!

My Students

My students are the warmest group of ten to eleven year olds with autism. They are mostly nonverbal (meaning they have limited speech), but their thirst for knowledge and teeming curiosity is truly astonishing.

They have the innocence and warmness of a child, with the drive and thirst for knowledge of a professional.

They are ready to take on the world; they just need the tools to do it. With a little bit of help and a pinch of confidence, they can do anything better than you and I.

My Project

The students (five ten-year-olds with moderate to severe autism) will be coloring, painting and designing a weatherproof bookshelf out of the oven. The bookshelf will then be made into a Little Free Library and placed outside the school!

These students rarely get the chance to showcase their artistic abilities, let alone have it displayed for the whole neighborhood to see.

Let's give them that chance!

I have already reached out to local libraries and gotten books donated, and they are so excited to get started. The bookshelf would also be located in a high needs area and will serve both gen-ed and special-ed students of that area.
