My Project

Imagine a classroom where students feel empowered to move, collaborate, and engage deeply with history—where comfort and choice fuel curiosity. In our school, serving a majority African American student population, flexible seating can be a game-changer.

Traditional desks can limit creativity and focus, but with seating options that allow students to choose how they learn best—standing desks, wobble stools, floor cushions—we can foster a more inclusive and dynamic learning environment.

Your donation will help create a space where every student feels seen, valued, and excited to explore the world through social studies. Together, we can build a classroom that reflects the power and potential of its learners.
