My Project

Our school just received funding for much needed new furniture for our students! This magnitude of funding is virtually unheard of, so we are all very grateful. While it is an amazing gift, it also means a lot of our basic set-up needs replacing.

From student name plates, to floor protectors, to water bottle baskets, our classroom needs a mid-year reset!

My students rely on their name plates for quick reference throughout the day. We need floor protectors to help us not only extend the life of this new furniture, but to mitigate noise and disruption. I started using these baskets a few years back so my students could keep their bottles of water handy throughout the day, and they've been very useful to us.

I am excited to put the room back together so my kiddos can get the most out of it!
