My Project

Our classroom chairs are less “furniture” and more “hazards.” Picture sitting on a porcupine disguised as a seat, and you’ll have an idea of what my students endure daily. These rivet-filled relics pinch skin, pull hair, and remind us all why chairs shouldn’t double as booby traps. But the nightmare doesn’t stop there. These chairs offer no storage. Textbooks, notebooks, and stray pencils cascade to the floor like an avalanche of chaos. It’s a constant battle between staying organized and not tripping over the mountain of materials.

We dream of chairs that:

- Sit like clouds, not torture devices, no rivets, no pain. Just happy, distraction-free seating.

- Double as storage lockers with built-in compartments for textbooks that finally let our floor breathe.

Your support can help us replace these medieval monstrosities with chairs that are comfortable, functional, and built to last. No more pinching, no more mess—just students focused on learning instead of surviving their seating.

Thank you for helping us turn our classroom into a place where everything — including our chairs — supports success!

Gratefully,

Mrs. L.

5th Grade Teacher and Survivor of the Chair-pocalypse
