Squirrelly Kiddos in Need of Squirrelly Furniture

Help me give my students the right environment that will push them toward success by providing us with Teen Active Chairs, Wiggle Seats, and Wiggle Wobble Chair Feet.

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Souraya's classroom raised $642

My Students

All of my students are English Language Learners. The majority of my students came from Somalia as immigrants through refugee camps.

They are in the lower socio-economic class and come from very large families.

My kiddos very bright students, who want to learn and assimilate into our mainstream culture in the United States. They want the same things that any kid in the United States dreams of, but they have more obstacles that hold them back.

I need you to help me remove a lot of these obstacles and allow them a fair chance to play on a leveled field.

My Project

I have kiddos who are very active. They literally fall over backwards from their chairs during lessons and classwork. I'm hoping that the new pieces of furniture that I'm asking for to be donated and hopefully get, will help my students by keeping their minds focused on their work while allowing their bodies to stay busy in a safe way.

My hope for every one of my students is to have a fair chance of getting a quality education and all the help they could possibly receive.

I believe that my kids will appreciate anything that could be donated to their classroom because they don't get the same accommodations at home. My kiddos come from lower socio-economic backgrounds. Your donations will be very much needed and appreciated.
