• Flexible Seating for Better Learning!

  Funded Aug 22, 2018

  Thank you so much for supporting our project and providing these wonderful ball chairs for our students! They were so excited to try new seats !These flexible seating options create a learning environment that maximizes student learning and allows me to address individual student learning needs. Being able to move, sit in a comfortable chair, and get their wiggles out makes all the difference. Research suggests that classroom arrangement significantly impacts student behavior and academic achievement, so I am hoping to provide my students with even more flexible seating options next year.

  Thank you again from the bottom of our hearts for believing in us and supporting us!”
