Over $26,000 awarded in grants at Montevideo Area Community Foundation banquet

Montevideo Middle School Special Ed teacher Laura Herfurth accepts a grant from the foundation in the amount of $4,500. The funds will be used to construct a sensory room for middle school students to help with anxiety and over-stimulation. “Trying to get them to come back down can be a struggle and right now we really don’t have a room at the Middle School. So this will be wonderful,” said Herfurth. The funds will be used to purchase swings, body socks, beanbag chairs, weighted blankets, and other things such as music that all have been developed to help kids with sensory issues.
