My Project

Imagine walking into your new classroom on the first day of school, you see colorful pictures on the wall, books lined up on shelves, and an assortment of school supplies. When it’s time to find a seat, you notice some chairs are tall and some are small. Some chairs are wooden and some are plastic. Desks are squeaky, chairs are wobbly and uneven, and tables have chipped and peeling corners.

I would love for my students to be able to focus on working at their desks without being distracted by tables that squeak or shake.

My hope is for all my students to be able to sit comfortably at uniform tables, as they busily read, write, and collaborate throughout the school year. Your generous donations will help create a stable and comfortable learning space for my students.

This project will directly impact historically underfunded classrooms.
