Bench for Kids Sitting Down to Eat Lunch Decently

My students need benches and table to sit down to eat their lunch.

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Mundkowsky's classroom raised $462

This project is fully funded

My Students

Where do my students originally come from? South America? Africa? South Asia? India? More than half of them speak other language as their native language rather than English. More than half of them qualify to have free lunch.

Most of my students stand outside of the school building to have their lunch because they do not have bench to sit down to eat decently.

Please support my students, help them to sit down to eat lunch. The bench will make school into a more comfortable place for all the students.

My Project

My students stand in the yard to finish their lunch most of the time. Yes, we do have ONE bench in the yard, but it is only good for 6 people. Most students have to hold lunch in their hands, and finish it with a very unpleasant position.

You donation of the bench and table will help my students to sit down to enjoy their meal, rather than standing and holding lunch in their hands.

It will improve the school environment and make the school into a better place for our students. They will truly appreciate the bench and fully use it every day.
