Where Every Child Shines
Who are you helping?
Helen Davis State School serves students ages 5 to 21 with significant developmental disabilities in St. Joseph and surrounding northwest counties. Students learn authentic skills in a safe environment to be productive and integrated into their home, community, leisure and work.
Helen Davis PTO is a 501c3 organization supporting the unmet needs of Helen Davis School and this year we are working to raise money for a brand new fenced-in Sensory Garden. We plan to include raised garden beds for easy reach, clear paths for wheelchairs and walking, sensory items such as wind chimes and fountains, and flowers/plants our students can smell and touch All levels of support are appreciated to help us reach our goal!
