Classroom Upgrades

Help me give my students updated flexible seating, lab supplies, and classroom supplies.

FULLY FUNDED! Mr. Arase's classroom raised $1,174

This project is fully funded

My Project

New lab stool will allow students flexible seating within the classroom. Safety goggles will help to replace old and worn down safety equipment. These are essential to the safety and wellbeing of all students who enter the classroom. Students will enjoy new seating that is updated and now worn down

Students need these supplies to get comfortable in the classroom and engage in learning.

The overall goal of this project is to ensure that students have new and improved seating and safety supplies. The expo markers are essential for daily lesson activities throughout the year.
