Thinking Outside the Desk

Funded Oct 23, 2024

Thank you again for supporting and donating to my project. You know this has made an impact when a parent contacts you to let you know how excited their son is about the new addition to the class. Two of the chairs arrived first and the students were excited, but when the third one arrived, they were super excited, they even asked to open and unwrap the package for me. And this was made possible because of you.

My students do a lot of independent work and I wanted to provide a different setting for them to work, other than the desk, and now they are excited with these chairs. At first I was worried they will be fighting to use them since I only have three of them, but so far everything is working. Once students are allowed to do independent work, they go to those chairs and do their work.

Even when they are coming in to class, that is their first place they go to. They use them to unwind a little before the start of class. This is making a great impact with their mental health and is helping them learn in a different setting. My goal is to continue to add more chairs so more students can enjoy this. This is all possible because of donor like you.”

With gratitude,
