Portable GAGA Ball Pit for all students at the DEEC

In the last two school years, freshmen classes and two upper level IB course students attended the Zekelman Holocaust Center. This was one of the capstones of the freshmen experience for ALL freshmen and the IB World History HL or IB Religion courses.

The SNAP (Students Need Accepting Peers) proposed the idea of including a Silent Disco VIP room (in the library) at the Homecoming dance for students with sensitivities and their peers. The Silent Disco would allow 50 + students to listen to music of their choice at the volume of their choice.

We are looking to expand our work stations in the weightroom and have consistent rack types.

Howell Nature Center (HNC) fee for 15 students at Dexter Alternative School (DAS) to experience kayaking, the zip line and learn about the HNC animal rehab facility on September 17, 2024. (This is the minimum number of students that can participate and we hope to have at least 15 students in our program next year.) This will be the first off-site field trip for the new 2024-2025 DAS cohort.

The goal of this program is to connect peers with students with higher needs by interacting with horses at the Happy Hooves farm on Gross Road.

The goal of this program is to go into the community and practice academic goals and career goals in real life scenarios. This helps students to see the purpose in their learning and make connections between what they are learning in school and how it applies to the real world, future living and employment. The students in the High Needs Resource Room also plan to complete the community lessons with peers. The students will also work on using public transportation to obtain access to the community as public transportation is how our students will gain independence in their community as their peers of the same age learn to drive on their own.

The LabQuest 3 is a standalone data-collection platform that students can use to collect, analyze, and interact with data efficiently. This equipment can be used for AP/IB Biology, Physics and AP Physics, AP/IB Chemistry, as well as IB Sports, Exercise and Health Science.

We are hoping to purchase STEM supplies and STEM toys that all first graders can create and collaborate with as they try out their designs and use creativity and problem solving not only as part of the building process but also as part of working with peers on a common product/idea.

The goal of this program is to connect peers with students with higher needs by interacting with a common interest of animals. We are also studying plant life in the Unique Learning System (ULS) curriculum and would like to explore the greenhouse and gardens. We would also like to explore the greenhouse effect projects as this aligns with our climate change study through ULS.
