Replacing our Bean Bag Chairs

Help me give my students two extra large bean bag chairs to sit in and read.

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Darty's classroom raised $336

This project is fully funded

My Project

My students love the library and love to read; especially in our extra large bean bag chairs. We used a Donors Choose project from 8 years ago to help purchase our original bean bag chairs and the teens love them! They come in all day to sit in our bean bags and read. Our space is so warm and inviting because of our bean bags, pillows, and rugs to liven up our space.

Unfortunately these bean bag chairs are almost 8 years old and are showing signs of age with tears and stains.

We are asking for 2 new extra large bean bag chairs with washable covers so our students can continue to have a comfortable space to sit and read while they are in the library.
