Mrs. Presley from Knoxville TN is requesting flexible seating through DonorsChoose, the most trusted classroom funding site for teachers.
Help me give my students a way to keep their materials organized and off their desks. The chair pockets will allow my students to store their school materials on the back on their seats.

I teach at an inner-city school in Knoxville, Tennessee. Our school's mission is to prepare urban scholars for the college of their choice and community leadership. My students enjoy rigorous and engaging activities that allow them to learn in new ways. Despite the many challenges my students face at home, 21 students come to school each day excited to try new things, take chances, and think outside of the box. We love to collaborate and try new learning strategies. I have a great group of students!
The minority population is 86% with ¾ being served on the free and reduced-price lunch program.
62.4% of the students are from families that meet eligibility criteria for economically disadvantaged.
I want to set my students up for success by giving them the means to be organized. The Seat Sacks will allow my scholars to safely store their classroom materials like folders, pencils, crayons, and books on the back on their seat. This will leave their workspace clear for students to focus on their work.
During the COVID-19 pandemic, it is even more important than ever that students have a safe way to store their materials.
During this school year, it is very important for student to have individualized materials to help stay safe and healthy.
