My Project

I would like to add more flexible seating to my classroom along with a water cooler. Most of the problems my students have at school happens outside of the classroom. My goal is to make the classroom feel like home, so that you do not want to leave at all. In order to accomplish this, I need the help of donors just like you. Flexible seating. Cold water. Snacks. Carpets. Bean bags. All of these things make my classroom a place kids love to be and learn. This year I hope to be even more successful.

By providing all of these things you are giving my students the needed comforts to succeed.

A comfortable place to read work and think. A drink of water or a cup of tea when they don’t feel good. And snacks as no one can do their best when they are hungry. In this day and age we think technology is the answer to all problems, but simple comforts are what is needed for my students to thrive.
