Creating Comfort: A Lounge Space for Students to be Themselves

Funded Jan 23, 2025

Thank you so much for supporting my classroom and providing us with new bean bag chairs! As students entered the classroom after the chairs arrived, they were so excited and ran to get into the coziest seats. In the past month alone, these chairs have been used to host movie days, allow students to feel comfortable while participating in restorative justice circles, host therapy dogs, and during class time in general.

This new found comfort attracted more students and staff to the lounge area as well. Many staff members walking by have complimented how comfortable and cozy the space is and found excuses to host meetings or spend time in the classroom.

These chairs have brought a more welcoming environment to the room and created a space so comfortable, people literally cannot stay away.

Thank you so much for your generosity and support! You have brought smiles to many faces, mine included. I can't wait to continue creating the most comfortable spaces for learning and growing possible.”

With gratitude,

Ms. Lucy
