Mt. Carmel Grade School has a new outlet for kids and it’s full of interactive and fun activities to achieve in the ‘Sensory Hallway’. The Sensory Hallway is utilized for students who are having trouble staying focused in class. It's a “Brain Break” for them. The hallway of synergistic fun was created thanks to generous donations from community members.
Erin Stephen, social worker for W.O.V.S.E.D approached Laura Taylor, social worker for Wabash #348 and Brianne Foster, principal at Mt. Carmel Grade School about the idea. A grant was written but was not approved. Sue Thompson, W.O.V.S.E.D CD Classroom Assistant took to social media and asked for interest in donations for the project. Within 3 days, enough money was raised to follow through with the project.
The Sensory Hallway was made possible by donations from:
Wabash General Hospital
Alka Chiropractic
Corwin Printing
The Grind
Matt, Candi and Logan Kissel
Pat Johnson and Matalei Greer
Chris Brown
