Funded Sep 29, 2022Thank you so much for allowing my students to learn in a new and exciting classroom atmosphere with softer lighting, flexible seating, and a bookshelf stocked with books for them to read at their own leisure.
When my students came to class for the first time after the room makeover, their faces lit up like little kids on Christmas morning. I could tell that something as simple as new seating options and string lights created a new classroom environment that they were not used to seeing.
Traditional classrooms can often feel like prisons to students, which does not foster a positive mindset for learning. After the classroom transformation, there was a noticeable change in the attitudes of the students. Students have been borrowing books from our new classroom library for independent reading and it makes me a very happy English teacher. I am so thankful for the donors that helped make this possible!”
With gratitude,
Ms. Marino
