My Project

Being comfortable while doing activities is very important. I want to provide this for my students when they visit our school garden during the year. When they see the garden they plant, dig, do art, cook, and so much more. A portion of the activities require them to sit down and that's where this new table comes into play. This new table is metal and will withstand the being outside and the students will be comfortable while doing their activities in the garden. I know my class and the entire school would appreciate this new table. Thanks for your consideration in helping us out. Our school garden means a lot to our students.
