My Project

The coronavirus pandemic has had a big impact on the students in our school environment. After being at home for such a long time some students struggle to adjust to the norms of the classroom and sometimes experience a meltdown. These comfy flex seats will definitely bring our calm down space to life. Students will have comfort in which they can relax and unwind for a few minutes.

Three years after covid our school environment is still experiencing a loss in learning and some students are still struggling with their learning goals.

Inclusion for all students is of utmost importance in our school environment. With these resources (notebooks, pencils and headphones) no child will be left out as they will be equipped for success. We thank you for your continued support. Your donation will help to bring our students' dreams to life.
