My Project

My students are the future of America. They are smart, curious, and eager to learn, however, they all learn differently. Expecting children to sit "criss-cross applesauce" for just 15 minutes is unrealistic. Flexible seating will allow my students to sit, learn, and be in a space that feels comfortable and helps them to focus while giving their bodies the ability to move and adjust as needed. Your donations will provide a variety of seating options for my students that will allow them this comfort while respecting the personal space of their peers.
