My Project

My students are passionate, creative, and full of potential. In our computer science classroom, they spend extended periods coding, problem-solving, and building digital projects that stretch their critical thinking and technical skills. However, the current classroom chairs are outdated, uncomfortable, and not designed for long periods of focused computer work.

That’s why we’re requesting Flash Furniture Black Ergonomic Chairs.

We want to give our students the physical support they need to thrive mentally and academically. These chairs are designed to promote proper posture, reduce strain on the back and neck, and help students maintain better focus during class.

With ergonomic seating, students will not only be more comfortable but will also be better equipped to engage in the demanding and exciting work that computer science involves. This project will directly impact their health, productivity, and overall classroom experience, helping them stay energized and attentive as they learn skills that prepare them for the future.

Thank you for considering a donation to our classroom. Your support means more than just new chairs—it’s an investment in student well-being, learning, and success.
