Help me give my students flexible seating help them focus and enhance their learning.

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Blackburn's classroom raised $2,933

My Students

My students are special needs students in the 7th and 8th grade. They are great students who put in extra effort to do well in school. They have other other health impairments and special needs but they take part in all school activities!!

My Project

The sensory chairs/stools for my students will help them in obvious ways! Since I have students with ADHD and learning issues I need chairs that allow them to move around and wiggle and still stay engaged in the lesson. They will provide the right fit, move with a student, and enhance learning!

I would like wiggle stools, or chairs so the students have flexible seating in order to improve students' focus and allow them to choose how they learn best.

New furniture would give students a sense of belonging and an additional reason to want to attend school!
