FORT MYERS, Fla. (June 26, 2024) – A team of employees from Seagate Development Group recently volunteered at Fort Myers Beach Elementary School to complete the construction of a Sensory Walking Path. The Sensory Walking Path provides students the opportunity to build sensory connections in the brain, challenge their balance and spatial awareness and experience many different tactile sensations within the path.
Marc Taglieri, director of sales and business development of Seagate Development Group, has a background in education, and he felt compelled to step in and offer Seagate’s assistance after everything the school went through after Hurricane Ian.
“I was an educator for 19 years, so it was important to me to give back to the school and the community,” said Taglieri. “Seagate wanted to give the school a reminder that the community is here to help them on their continued return to normalcy. We are honored to be able to give the school this Sensory Walking Path.”
In 2022, Fort Myers Beach Elementary School suffered severe storm damage from Hurricane Ian. A dozen Seagate employees came together to create a Sensory Walking Path, comprised of pressure treated lumber, shell, river rock, lava rock, drainage tubing, sand, artificial grass and rocks painted by the students. This was installed at the rear entrance of the school, connecting two of the interior school entrances. Seagate also added eight yards of shell to flower beds along the building and entrance.
“We are proud to have our employees contribute to the school environment at Fort Myers Beach Elementary,” said Matt Price, CEO of Seagate Development Group. “It’s a rewarding experience to have our employees make a direct impact in our community.”
