Better Desk for a More Functional Teaching and Learning Space

Help me give my students more room in their classroom by organizing the space better with a new desk for the front of the room.

FULLY FUNDED! Mr. Bilotta's classroom raised $167

My Project

My classroom is currently a shared classroom between band and orchestra. It serves close to 200 students within the school. As you can imagine, with all of those instruments, we are tight on space!

In order to display things for students on the smart board (instructional videos, slides, docs, websites, etc.) we have to connect our teacher's computer.

Unfortunately, the only thing we have to put it on is this very large, cumbersome, storage cabinet type of desk. It's not conducive to the space (or lack thereof) that we currently have.

This standing desk would be better suited to our classroom needs and would free up some much-needed space in a tight room.

Your donation would be so appreciated in making that happen!
