Help me give my students flexible seating that allows students to choose learning environments that support their focus, comfort, and collaboration.
FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Preno's classroom raised $756

My Project
Flexible seating is important in the classroom because it gives students the opportunity to choose how and where they learn best. Traditional desks and chairs don’t meet the needs of all learners, especially those who need movement or a more comfortable space to stay focused. Flexible seating options—such as wobble stools, floor cushions, or standing desks—help improve focus, encourage collaboration, and create a sense of ownership in the classroom. When students feel physically comfortable and in control of their environment, they are more engaged, motivated, and ready to learn. Thank you for your time to help us be seated comfortably in the library and enjoy our flexible learning.
More than half of students from low‑income households
Data about students' economic need comes from the National Center for Education Statistics, via our partners at MDR Education. Learn more
