Special Needs School
|
In the initial years of our partnership with Lyssons Special Needs School, our focus was on enhancing the teaching environment by providing essential resources such as teaching materials, supplies, a laptop, and educational electronics for the dedicated teachers.
As our involvement deepened, we undertook significant infrastructure improvements to ensure a conducive learning environment. This included replacing the roof and ceiling, repairing broken light fixtures and plumbing, and conducting a comprehensive interior painting project, revitalizing the entire facility. Upon discovering subpar performance in standardized testing, we implemented a breakfast feeding program twice a week. This initiative resulted in a notable improvement in both attendance rates and test scores, highlighting the vital link between proper nutrition and academic success. Moving forward, it remains a core objective of IS68 to sustain our support for Lyssons Special Needs School. This entails a continued commitment to addressing hunger through our feeding program, maintaining the facility to uphold conducive learning conditions, and ensuring that both students and teachers have access to the necessary materials and technology for effective education.
