My Project

Small group instruction is where the magic happens—where struggling students get support, curious minds dive deeper, and confidence takes root. To make this happen effectively, we need a sturdy, laminated table where learning can come to life in a focused, welcoming space.

Right now, our small groups meet at mismatched desks or carpet corners, which isn’t ideal for focused learning.

A designated table will provide structure, routine, and comfort—especially for students who need extra support and consistency. It becomes their space to ask questions, take risks, and grow.

Help us build a space where every student feels seen. Your donation will give students a place where their individual needs are met and their voices are heard. With this table, we’ll turn small groups into big moments of success.
