My Project

At our academy, we are a small, rural private school with no federal or state income. Our tuition and donations are the funding of the school. Due to this, we have outdated classroom furniture that does not promote the instructional effectiveness of our teachers. Students need a place to develop their academic skills. The culture of today's classroom should promote collaboration and inquiry that encourages students to develop these lifelong skills needed in the workforce. In order to do so, we must have furniture that encourages this, including a new table set and chairs. Classroom desks are a thing of the past. Not to mention, our desks are so old that most are broken. Our students and teachers need a functional environment that encourages the academic skills needed for student success. Please take the time to consider donating to this cause. Thank you!
