My Project

Currently students in my science classroom are fatigued and uncomfortable sitting on hard, small stools without any back support. Students say it is hard to learn with such uncomfortable seats. Many of them have to get up and lie down on the floor for relief. Many students also lose focus quickly because the discomfort of the current stools.

With a set of comfortable chairs, students would be able to focus on academic success for the duration of the 80 minute periods.

Students deserve to explore science in a supportive, comfortable setting.

I realize this is an expensive project but I'm hopeful that generous donors will agree that students' experience will greatly improve with this upgrade.
