My Project

Help us get stools! We need stools because they would help students stay comfortable, focused, and engaged during instruction. Right now, students often struggle to fit comfortably around the table, which can make learning distractions more common. Stools would provide flexible seating that allows students to move in and out of small group lessons quickly and safely while creating more space in the classroom. In addition, comfortable seating helps students maintain attention during reading and math interventions, leading to stronger participation and academic growth. By providing stools for the small group table, we can create a more organized, welcoming, and effective learning environment where all students are able to do their best work.
