My Project

I work in a title 1 schools, where students coming to learn is a privilege. They come to school eager to learn, grow and read. Knowing my students come from a tough background, it is my duty to ensure they are comfortable in every way possible. Even when it comes to sitting to learn.

Who said sitting to learn has to be uncomfortable and seem like a job?

Well I want to make sure my students have comfort while sitting in their seats, it will help to make sure learning comes easy. That's why these materials will help my student excel and do their best work, giving them the materials they need to succeed.
