  • Let Freedom From Clutter Reign!

    Funded Aug 7, 2019

    I cannot thank you enough for all of your support and generosity. These seat sacks are the perfect way for students to store their materials since students will now be sitting at tables, rather than desks. These seat sacks will allow students to have easy access to their belongings, while at the same time provide them with an opportunity to organize their materials.

    This would not have been possible without your support so my students and I thank you from the bottom of our hearts. This will allow us to begin the school year on a positive note!

    Looking forward to a successful school year!”

    With gratitude,

    Ms. Richards

  • Tables Galore!

    Funded May 31, 2019

    I cannot thank you enough for your generosity. It means so much to me and my students that you have funded our project. You went above and beyond and we are so grateful.

    The students and I are very excited to begin using these new tables this upcoming school year! We hope that these tables will allow us to work more collaboratively with one another and improve our organizational skills. These tables will also give us much more space as we move around in our classroom.

    Looking forward to a wonderful year of learning and growing, thanks to you!”

    With gratitude,

    Ms. Richards

It is essential to my students' academic and social growth that they have tables where they can collaborate with one another. Research shows that students learn better when they work together. Right now my students are using individual desks that are worn out and marked-up to complete their independent work. Students often shove papers inside their desks and then struggle to find them later in the day. With the addition of these tables, students will be forced to learn organizational skills by placing their belongings in certain areas in the classroom. Finally, the desks that are currently in our classroom are bulky and take up a large amount of space. With the addition of these tables, students will be able to move around the room more comfortably. My hope is that these tables serve as symbol of collaboration, organization, and comfort. These tables will be the foundation upon which students can learn the skills they will need to be successful later in life, as they fulfill their dreams.
