My Project

Our school is excited to launch a new broadcasting club for our 4th and 5th grade students, which will provide them with opportunities to learn valuable skills in technology, public speaking, and written communication.

With the generous donation of video equipment, we now have the tools to create a professional broadcasting environment, however, in order to make the most of these resources and foster a productive and engaging learning space, we are in need of appropriate furniture.

Comfortable, functional furniture will help support our students as they work together on projects, practice their speaking skills, and engage in hands-on learning with the technology. Having the right desks, chairs, storage solutions, and collaborative spaces will not only make the space more welcoming and efficient, but will also encourage our students to take pride in their work and feel inspired to learn.
