My Project

I am reaching out because I am working to create a more engaging and comfortable learning environment for my students by adding more books and flexible seating options, such as bean bags, to our classroom.

Reading is at the heart of learning, and I want to provide my students with a wide variety of books that will inspire them, expand their knowledge, and nurture their love for reading.

Additionally, flexible seating, like bean bags, can help students feel more comfortable and focused, making learning more enjoyable and effective.

To make this vision a reality, I am seeking donations of new or gently used books and bean bags, or financial contributions to help purchase these resources. Any support—big or small—would make a tremendous difference for my students.
