My Project

Dear Generous Donors,

Thank you for taking the time to consider supporting my classroom.

This project is focused on a convertible standing desk for my use as a teacher. A standing desk will allow me to better prepare and deliver lessons, hold individual conferences with students, and help me monitor the class more effectively.

With this desk, I can stay mobile, quickly move to students who need assistance, and have a better view of the classroom, which will help me maintain a productive and engaged learning environment. It will also give me the flexibility to sit when needed, but more importantly, stand and interact with students more fluidly throughout the day.

Your support will improve both my teaching and the learning experience for my students. I am so grateful for your kindness and willingness to contribute to making our classroom a place where all students can thrive!

Sincerely,

Mr. Kendrick
