Comfort in the Classroom

Help me give my students a big comfy chair to take a break!

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Phillips's classroom raised $246

My Project

My students are amazing young adults with special needs. We focus on skills that will help them thrive as adults. They are all responsible for chores in the classroom and running our class businesses on top of all the academics we cover. They have busy days ahead and it would be wonderful to give them a nice, cozy spot to take a break.

A big comfortable chair in the corner of the classroom would be a huge help for the students.

They would be able to sit and read or just relax for a few minutes in a calming corner. We don't currently have any seating that fits that need.
