Saplings is a special school for children aged 4 to 18 with autism and complex needs, in Kill, County Kildare .The Parents Association of the school have set up this fundraising page to help us secure funds for any improvements that need to be made within the school that are not covered by Department of Education and Skills funding. The school was built in the 1950s (originally as a mainstream school) and as such requires a lot of upkeep and running repairs. We only have 30 students in the school, so fundraising can sometimes be difficult. We fundraise to cover these additional maintenance costs, to create sensory rooms, to design and build specialised indoor and outdoor play areas for the students, to provide OT equipment, and to purchase new technologies that will help the students to grow, learn and develop.  Saplings strives to create a safe and happy learning environment in which each child can reach his/ her full potential by teaching each student the way that he/ she learns best. We are so grateful to everyone who donates to our school, as every penny goes towards making our school a better and more fun environment for our students.
