If It Fits, It Sits: Making Room for Real Growth

Help me give my students appropriate seating for their age and era! My growing high school students feel cramped in outdated desk-chair combos. New furniture will improve comfort and collaborative classroom arrangements.

My Project

My students are bright, curious young adults who are growing in every way: mentally, emotionally, and physically. The old, cramped chair-desk combos in our classroom just don’t work for them anymore. Many feel uncomfortable and distracted, which makes it harder to focus or work together. The chair-desk combos also restrict the seating arrangement and grouping of desks, making collaboration difficult.

New desks and chairs would give my students the room they need and allow the classroom to be arranged in ways that support collaboration and creativity.

These students show up every day ready to learn and push themselves. They deserve a more modern space that helps them thrive.
