Better Science Seating Needed

FULLY FUNDED! Mr. Adamson's classroom raised $3,522

My Project

My students are so eager to learn anything science. In elementary school, thye have very little to no science instructions. Once they come to 6th grade, they get a class dedicated to just science. The only drawback they have to sit for 48 minutes in the most uncomfortable stools known to man.(lol)

These Padded stools will provide the students with a better experience.

The students will be able to concentrate more on the lessons and less on their achy backs. As everyone knows students now a days need less distractions then ever just to concentrate. The new padded stools will help to provide that.
