My Project

I am lucky to share a classroom with two co-teachers. We work with about 50 fabulous students with hearing loss on a daily basis. We service students in 9th-12th grades with a variety of learning and language needs.

Our students deserve a comfortable place to do their work.

Because we are in an older school building, our furniture is quite dated. We have the old-school desks with a fixated chair. Not only are these desks uncomfortable, they make group work incredibly challenging!

Our amazing students need new tables and chairs to participate in meaningful small group work.

Please help us fund new furniture!
