My Project

This project is created with my readers in mind. Students are always looking for a comfortable place to relax, unwind, and take a moment alone to delve into new worlds with our classroom library. This project will provide them the ability to not only relax in a chair, with a table to hold their items, but also allow other students to relax utilizing our classroom pillows on a washable rug (keeping the classroom tidy, and germs away).

When I was a kid, I always looked for spaces to read and this project caters to kids like me!

These items would be a beautiful gift to enhance the space we have in the classroom, and allow me to open my doors to students during lunch and recess so they can find some peace and quiet.

Ms. Pepitone
Grades 9-12
  • Maui High School
  • Kahului, HI
  • More than a third of students from low‑income households

    This project will reach 150 students.
