Seating for Our Lunch Area

Help me give my students a place to sit during lunchtime. Our current tables are falling apart leaving students to sit on the ground during lunch. Any help towards this project would be greatly appreciated.

My Project

Our school is more than just a school; it's a vibrant community where education meets the great outdoors. Our unique approach to learning emphasizes outdoor activities, ensuring that students spend a minimum of 90 minutes per day outside. As proud as we are of this commitment to outdoor education, we recognize the need to provide adequate infrastructure to support our students' learning experiences. One critical element lacking in our outdoor environment is sufficient seating for students to work and eat comfortably. Therefore, we are reaching out to our generous supporters to help us acquire new picnic tables for our outdoor spaces.
