We are excited to kick off the 2024 Sensory Room Campaign for G.C. Hartman Elementary of Southern Columbia Area School District. The sensory room plays a key role in supporting development and provides a safe and therapeutic environment for children to explore and engage with their senses. All students at Southern Columbia Area have the ability to benefit from the Sensory Room!
This effort requires funds and resources from our community to implement a top notch Sensory Room to meet the needs of our students. In addition to furnishing the space, expert volunteers will design and create an inviting and safe hiatus to truly meet the needs of our most treasured community
A donation made to HART: Sensory Room will directly impact children with diverse needs with the creation of this incredible asset to the District. We canβt do this without your help! Make your contribution today
With Gratitude, Jenn Rarig & Sensory Room Advocates
