My Project

Students here at my school are always on the go, whether they are on the water, fishing, rowing, sailing, hatching fish in the lab, or at the greenhouse, they need more options when in their English classroom other than a typical chair. We need some chairs that allow movement, but also help them to focus. Book storage that entices them to read books is always a bonus! My students will be so grateful for all of these items in the classroom. Thank you in advance for funding this classroom project for us!
