Our Dream “Desktination”

Help me give my students new desks! Who wants to use old, wobbly, and scratched up desks? It really does affect the way that students work and how they feel about their classroom.

My Project

My students deserve new and usable desks. Currently, my students are using old desks from older grades that are too large. Some of my students have desks that are scratched and stained from many years of use. Furniture is so important in the classroom and helps make students feel comfortable. The more comfortable a student feels, the better they can learn.

Please help make my students dream “desktination” come true!

Our classroom will feel warmer and be more organized if all of my students have the same desks. With your help, my classroom will look and feel more like a desktination, than a storage closet.
