Home Away From Home

Help me give my students a comfortable and homey space to learn in.

My Project

Help give my students a comfortable place to learn and grow.

Students spend more time at school than at home - it should feel comfortable and welcoming to them.

I'm asking for special lighting to meet sensory needs, a way to create scent in our room to make it smell nice (have you ever smelled a class full of middle schoolers?), and comfortable places to sit and rest. We want to fill the room with encouraging posters and beautiful art.

Your donation will help bring a dull, cinderblock room to life.
