There are lots of great projects you can support on DonorsChoose for Loretto Elementary teachers and staff including this project from CSS Teacher Ms. Immel: Rolling Into Regulation: A Sensory Solution for Special Needs

You can also sprinkle a little love around on multiple projects by visiting our Loretto Elementary DonorsChoose page and giving a little bit to multiple projects. Even just a $1 donation can help because the more individual donors, the more the algorithm will recognize and bump the project up the list on the DC page. Plus several of these projects have double matches right now!
