My Project

Our middle school has moved to a new location that has a blacktop yard out front with a basketball court in it. However, there is no place to sit so students are sitting on the ground in the shade while waiting for their turn to play.

I would like to make this space more usable by having enough seating in the shade so that the students can also have lunches and possibly have classes outdoors when the weather is nice, not just a place to sit.

Picnic tables are the perfect solution, seating students who are waiting to play and can also be used for classes and lunches. Please help give my students more possible outdoor time which can also be used educationally.
