Creating a Safe and Comfortable Place

Help me give my students a place to call home. My students need a place to feel comfortable being themselves so they can focus on learning. Flexible seating and basic school supplies will really help them to succeed.

My Project

Students today do not thrive in rows and desks. They need flexibility and movement in class. With bean bags and floor pillows, students will be able to comfortably learn and succeed.

Markers and cleaning supplies will help to maintain daily classroom activities.

We do lots of project-based learning in my classroom, but we are underfunded. I often have to help fund student projects.

Funding my classroom will lead to the enhancement of a safe environment for all. Students have told me they feel at home and can truly be themselves I'm my classroom, and I would like for that to continue.
