My Project

Dear Friends and Family,

I am reaching out to ask for your support in helping me purchase flexible seating options for my classroom.

As a teacher, I strive to create a comfortable and engaging learning environment for my students, and having flexible seating will allow them to choose a seating option that works best for their individual needs.

Research has shown that allowing students to move and choose their seating can improve their focus, engagement, and overall learning experience in the classroom. By providing flexible seating options such as standing desks or office chairs, I hope to create a dynamic and supportive space for my students to thrive.

Unfortunately, as a teacher, I do not have the budget to purchase these items on my own. That's why I am turning to you for help. Any donation, no matter how small, will make a difference in helping me create a more innovative and student-centered classroom environment.

If you can contribute, please consider making a donation towards flexible seating for my classroom. Your support will directly impact the quality of education and learning experience for my students, and I am truly grateful for any help you can provide.

Thank you for considering my request, and for your ongoing support of education.

Sincerely,

Mrs. Blanchette

Ms. Blanchette Bakerfield Elementary School Grades PreK-2
