Baldwin Middle School Sensory Garden
GFFE is proud to approve the grant for a Sensory Garden at Baldwin Middle School submitted by teacher Amy Albe and supported by Principal Doug Hammel. The Sensory Garden will feature:
Hexagonal pergola with swing benches and wheelchair space
Rock garden
Sustainable plants
Pinwheels
Wind chimes
Balance beam
Steppingstones
Recycled materials for gardening
This grant will provide students with physical, developmental, social/emotional, multi-sensory or regulatory needs access to a designated space to optimize their health and wellness as well as positively impact all students; fostering inclusivity, collaboration with peers/adults and develop healthy relationships with others.
Thank you to teacher Amy Albe for going above and beyond for our Guilford students and for partnering with Guilford Fund for Education! We are thrilled to support you and look forward to seeing the Sensory Garden come to fruition.
Guilford Fund For Education (GFFE) is an all-volunteer non-profit organization that gives Guilford educators and students an avenue to explore, experiment, and bring fresh ideas for educational experiences by funding proposals that fall outside of an organization’s budget.
