Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

Celebrate Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.

My Project

Imagine walking into a classroom filled with options—not just in what students learn, but where and how they learn. Picture students curled up in cozy corners with books, writing while gently rocking on wobble stools, or brainstorming around standing desks with their peers. Where would you feel most focused, most comfortable, and most inspired to learn?

That’s the power of flexible seating.

It gives students the freedom to choose seating that best suits their learning styles. Whether they need to move to stay focused, prefer a calm space to reflect, or enjoy collaborating with others in an open space, flexible seating adapts to their needs. This shift in classroom design is proven to increase student engagement, reduce distractions, and build independence. It fosters an environment where students feel comfortable, respected, and in control of their learning.

Flexible seating isn’t just about the furniture—it’s about creating a classroom that supports all types of learners. Some students focus best in a quiet corner with a cushion, while others thrive when they can move around or work in small groups. When students are empowered to choose where they sit and how they work, they are more motivated and invested in their learning.

Your support can make this vision a reality. With your donation, we can transform our classroom into a flexible, dynamic learning environment that helps every student succeed. Together, we can create a space where students feel more confident, connected, and ready to take on the world.

Thank you for helping us create a classroom where students not only learn but thrive. Your generosity is an investment in their future.
