Mrs. Batchelor from Alvord TX is requesting flexible seating through DonorsChoose, the most trusted classroom funding site for teachers.

A Gathering Place

Help me give my students an area that will provide flexible seating to gather for study groups, meetings, or lunch. Faculty can also use the area for academic conferences with students, parents, and other staff members.

My Project

Tables and chairs will provide flexible seating for students to gather for study groups, meetings, or lunch. Students can move tables and chairs as needed depending on the size of the groups. Faculty can also use this furniture for academic conferences with students, parents, and other staff members.

We are a middle school campus in a small district with a close-knit student population.

The school is located in a rural area with few options for students to gather for study outside school. This project will provide a safe, inviting area for students to gather.
