HAMBURG, NY — On Wednesday, Union Pleasant Elementary School teacher Madison Reardon received supplies for her students through RoRo's Gift hosted by Rosaic.
- RoRo's Gift is bringing joy to students and teachers
- JaHanna and Kyle Kurtz, founders of Rosaics, delivered the first gift to a special education teacher
- The gift includes sensory items that enhance the learning experience
- Teachers are grateful for the funds to provide these resources
- RoRo's Gift is making a difference in classrooms
Founders JaHanna and Kyle Kurtz started their apparel brand Rosaic to spread awareness about Down syndrome and other special abilities after their son Roman, who was diagnosed post-birth with T-21 Down syndrome.
Reardon was able to receive the boxes of sensory items because she was nominated by her peers.
"The administration will nominate the teachers and then we decide who receives the gift with a randomizer," said JaHanna.
JaHanna says that because of how sensory items can be hard to get, Reardon was the perfect choice.
"Some items, teachers can't get. So a lot of the sensory stuff, the noise-canceling headphones, the texture stuff. I think teachers being able to have the ability to do that with these funds really enhances their classroom experience," said JaHanna.
Reardon will be counting down the days until the start of school to see her student's faces light up.
"I'm so thankful for RoRo's Gift. It's like Christmas. I cannot wait to see the joy on my student's faces," said Reardon.
