My students are an amazing group of learners. They are constantly seeking to better themselves and are committed to their education. This group exceeds 25 kids, and our classroom space is limited. These new desks will help with spacing of students, set up of classroom lessons, and give us a better area for learning.
New desks are needed to help with classroom arrangement, spacing, and set up.
With over 25 kids in a small classroom, the use of square desks will help us fit without being crammed. Right now we have odd shaped desks that don't fit together, and this limits our movement, cramming us in like a sardine can. These standard shaped desks will help eliminate some of the tight spaces in our room.
More than half of students from low‑income households
Data about students' economic need comes from the National Center for Education Statistics, via our partners at MDR Education. Learn more
