Many students need frequent movement breaks in order to be able to focus in class. Some students need to move so often that they are unable to focus in class. With bouncy bands for the students' chairs, they will be able to get that movement they need in order to increase concentration. By donating to our project, you will help students achieve in school by allowing them to have the movement outlet they need at any time. Also, with the restrictions that Covid-19 has placed on our school, the water fountains have been turned off, requiring students to bring water bottles from home to have a drink throughout the day. However, the student's desks in our classroom open from top, sending water bottles clanking to the floor every time a desk opens. By donating water bottle holders that are designed for bicycles, I will be able to attach the holders to the legs of the desks, giving the students a secure place to store their water bottle throughout the day.
