We are growing out of space on our campus. And I've been reassigned to a new room. It is not yet a 'classroom'. The room I am moving into is one-half of our old campus computer room. There is talk of a free-standing wall being put up. But, currently the only furniture I have provided in that space are long banquet-style tables that computers once occupied. I am hoping to make a second request for storage through Donors Choose. But my first concern is for the students and being able to provide them with ideal seating opportunities and choice! I am leaving the students desks and plastic shields we've been behind for a year, behind us! I am so excited to offer them a FLEXIBLE CLASSROOM this upcoming year. I have great ideas in the works, just not a great (read 'any') budget to do it with. This is where you come in to save the day, with your kindness and generosity!
