Switch Seats For Success!

Funded Aug 6, 2016

Your donation towards our classroom project allowed for the purchase and/or creation of alternative seating options for students who struggle with attentiveness in today's classroom. I was able to use the alternative seating in my 6th grade ELA and SS classes as well as with additional struggling students participating in our multi-age, extended day program. These seating options allow for movement throughout the learning time without distracting other learners. In addition, the personal movement helps the student to stay focused and on task.

Posted by Time.com, Education Market Association found that "virtually all teachers wind up paying out of pocket for supplies... on average most spent nearly $500 (per year) and one in 10 spent $1000 or more." (Time.com, 2016)

I truly appreciate donors such as yourself helping educators go above and beyond to bring the supplies, materials and alternative resources to help our students succeed. From myself and many other teachers helped by donors like you, THANK YOU!”

With gratitude,

Ms. Quaranta
