My Project

Students thrive in classrooms that feel joyful and welcoming. The items in this project will help create a space that is organized, inclusive, and accessible for all learners. When students walk into a classroom with personality and where the environment reflects their identities and supports their needs, they feel valued and ready to learn.

Your support will help build a space that sparks curiosity, encourages focus, and celebrates every student who walks through the door.

This project includes tools to reduce classroom clutter, flexible seating to support different learning styles, and visual elements that reflect the diversity of the world and the stories we study in history. Every item will play a part in making our classroom not just a place to learn, but a place to belong.
