Seating Solutions

Funded Feb 3, 2022

The children at the Athol Royalston Regional School District have greatly enjoyed the cube chairs that were donated as part of the Seating Solutions project. Your kind donation enabled us to install chairs in six classrooms across two elementary schools. Our students use these chairs everyday for many activities. In one classroom, you may see cube chairs arranged so children can share a game, and elsewhere you may notice children have created tables & chairs for a more dramatic play activity.

Perhaps the most exciting aspect of implementing so many chairs at once has been watching how they have supported students in ways we did not anticipate. In one instance, we noticed a child who had experienced trauma set-up a chair next to his desk. This allowed staff to discreetly sit down, check-in, and provide him with support as he needed it. The child literally set-up his own comfort station!

On behlf of our students and teachers, thank-you so very much for your kind donation.”
