Support the Shine School – Help Our Students Shine Brighter!

Dear Shine Supporter,

At Shine School, we believe every child deserves a learning environment where they are seen, supported, and celebrated for exactly who they are. Located in Gainesville, Florida, our school serves students with unique abilities, ages 4 to 22, through individualized instruction, small class sizes, and a strong focus on socialization and life skills.

Our mission is simple: empower every student  to SHINE in their own way.

This year, we are seeking support from generous individuals and organizations like you to help us continue — and expand — our life-changing programs. Your donation will directly support:

  • Student scholarships – making Shine accessible to more families

  • Facility improvements – creating safe, engaging, sensory-friendly spaces

  • Classroom technology – empowering students with tools to succeed

  • Therapy programs – including occupational, speech, and behavioral therapy

Every gift, no matter the size, makes a meaningful difference. With your support, we can continue to offer a nurturing environment where our students don’t just learn — they thrive.

Donate today and help us build a brighter future for extraordinary kids.

From all of us at Shine School — students, staff, and families — thank you for believing in our mission and helping our kids reach their fullest potential.

With great appreciation, 
Amy Padgett
Owner and Principal
