My Project
Our students are in uncomfortable plastic chairs all day. I'd love to get them some chairs that are comfortable for the carrels that now house desktop computers. These study carrels are where students take tests, do research, work on their IB lessons like personal project or extended essay, and find new books to read. Our library is coming a long way in terms of comfort, but our study spaces are still made of plastic and not comfortable for long term studying and work. Thank you for considering this project and supporting our students' needs.
