My students need stacking chairs to enable them to use their new desks.
FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Van Dunk's classroom raised $568
This project is fully funded
Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month
This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because
it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.
My Students
My students are hard working and optimistic about the future. Our school strives to promote and cultivate a college-ready mindset in every student because only a quarter of my students report having a family member attend college.
If you ask my students what motivates them to succeed, they would talk about their family.
Despite facing many challenges, my students come to school ready to learn and be their best in order to make themselves, their family, and their community proud. Every day I am humbled that I get to be their teacher because they recognize the power of education.
My Project
I recently got a project of desks funded, and they look really wonderful! Students love the desks, but there are not enough chairs at my school for students to sit down at them. I had no idea that there were not enough chairs at my school to match the desks. We need these chairs to complete the new seating arrangements.
These stacking chairs are sturdy and lightweight; they are the perfect fit for consistent student use.
These chairs also allow for the class to work in different sized groups and formations since they can be move independent from the desks.
More than three‑quarters of students from low‑income households
Data about students' economic need comes from the National Center for Education Statistics, via our partners at MDR Education. Learn more
