Junior League of Beaumont completes sensory room rebuild for Beaumont ISD

Megan Collins, membership development chair of the Junior League of Beaumont, told the meeting that the group's new members completed a sensory room rebuild for Beaumont ISD, saying they designed, decorated and implemented the space to give children a place to decompress.

Collins said provisionals — the Junior League's new members — spent several months working on the room, beginning with design work and moving through sourcing and implementation. "It started with the design. As the design committee, we actually worked on taking the blank space that Sally Curtis allowed us to have and turning it into this room to kind of bring it to the children and let them have somewhere to decompress, to get away from the stresses of their everyday life," she said.

She credited distinct volunteer teams for the project's completion: a design team, a communications team, a sourcing team and an implementation team. "The design team did an amazing job. The communication team did a great job communicating with everyone. Sourcing team worked with everyone. And then that we came in, my team was implementation and the BISD liaison coming in and working together as a team, and it's better than I could have ever imagined that this room turned out to be," Collins said.

Collins named Sally Curtis as the person who gave the Junior League access to the blank space used for the project. The transcript does not specify the number of volunteers, the cost of the rebuild, or funding sources. No formal motions or votes were recorded during these remarks.

The meeting record shows only a brief aside by another participant at the end of Collins's remarks; no substantive response or formal action followed.
