My Project

I will create a welcoming classroom where students are excited to learn and feel comfortable every day. Classroom furniture is very important because it helps students feel safe, focused, and included. These items will help me provide a positive learning experience for students from kindergarten through 8th grade.

Your support will help each student reach their full potential by creating an enjoyable and supportive ESL classroom.

Every student has the right to learn.

Flexible seating options, age-appropriate desks and chairs, reading rugs, storage units, and collaborative work tables help students feel a strong sense of belonging and ownership of their learning. These essential items allow students to move, interact, and learn in ways that best meet their individual needs, especially in an ESL classroom where students benefit from hands-on and interactive learning experiences.

This project will directly impact historically underfunded classrooms.
