New Tables & Chairs for Growing Kindergarten Minds

Help me give my students new tables and chairs for a better classroom!

My Project

My kindergarten classroom is filled with bright, curious little learners who are ready to explore the world, but our current tables and chairs are bulky, outdated, and just don’t meet their needs. With anywhere between 17-24 students in our room, space is tight and our furniture makes it hard to move, collaborate, and learn comfortably.

I’m hoping to create a warm, inviting environment where my students can work together easily and feel proud of their space.

This project will help us replace our oversized rectangular tables with child-friendly round tables that promote collaboration and fit better in our classroom. We’ll also receive appropriately-sized chairs so our students can sit safely and comfortably as they learn and grow.

By supporting this project, you’re helping build a space that’s made just for them, one that encourages creativity, teamwork, and joy every day. Thank you for believing in our youngest learners!
