My Project

Dear Donors,

I am reaching out to request your support in providing lap desks for my students.

These desks will allow them the flexibility to work comfortably in various settings—whether at their desks, on the floor, or in different parts of the classroom.

As we move towards more collaborative and flexible learning environments, it’s crucial that my students have the tools they need to be successful. Many of our lessons involve group work, independent study, and interactive learning that requires a space to write, read, and use technology. Lap desks would give my students the ability to work more efficiently and comfortably, helping them stay engaged and focused throughout the day.

Your support will make a huge difference in their ability to learn and grow. Thank you for considering this request!
