My Project

Imagine a classroom where every student feels comfortable, engaged, and ready to learn. That's the vision I have for my first-grade students, and with your support, we can make it a reality. Flexible seating options like the donut exercise balls and wave seats provide movement and comfort that help students focus, manage their energy, and stay more engaged in their learning. Many of my students benefit from having the ability to move while working-it helps them concentrate and feel more in control of their learning environment. Your donation will directly impact their daily classroom experience, creating a space where every child has the opportunity to succeed. Thank you for helping us build a classroom that supports all learners.
