My Students

Pinecrest is a K-12 behavioral school with students that are placed with us from multiple area school districts. Our students have many strugglings not only in school but in their home environment. During their school day, we do the best we can to motivate, encourage, support, and teach them how to be successful in school and life.

We are always looking to improve our school and classroom environment to help ease the anxiety that students have in a traditional school setting.

My Project

Pinecrest is a K-12 behavior setting with 8 classrooms. We have students that traditional classroom settings do not support their behavioral needs. We are looking at different options to help make the students more comfortable than the traditional desk seating.

Currently, we have to beg, borrow, and dumpster dive for desk, tables, and chairs.

We have been given desks and tables that other educational settings in our district do not want or are broken. We are slowly trying to enhance and change each classroom to become more trauma-sensitive and supportive for our students. But do not have the resources or funding to support a major change in each classroom.
