My Project

So many times, our students have told us that our school resembles a jail. What if we could remodel every room to make it more like a home, not a prison? This past year, the administration has decided to turn the old library into a lounge/meeting area.

The students need a space outside of the classroom.

Somewhere, they can sit and breathe and eat their lunch in a quiet place made just for them. This furniture will give our students a place to rest and rejuvenate. Our students deserve a comfortable and inspiring space to recharge and collaborate, and a well-furnished lounge is crucial to ensuring their well-being and effectiveness in the classroom.
