My Project

I have done my best with the collection of mixed-matched original tables and chairs that are available in our classroom. With lots of time dedicated to cleaning and painting, they were able to serve us for another year this past school year. Utilizing cardboard pieces to level out the old wooden tables and making do with what we had definitely builds character and charm in the classroom however I would love to provide new, sturdy desks and chairs for our students.

With matching new, adjustable height tables and durable metal stools, our inclusive classroom will be more organized, safe and cohesive.

It will provide more working space for the students and a cleaner, safer environment for all who use the space. High back stools will ensure our students who need extra support will be provided for as well. By investing in quality products, we can ensure that the classroom will have reliable furniture that will last the test of time and middle schoolers! Furniture that is easy to clean regularly and arrange as needed will take unnecessary stress and spacial challenges out of our day and allow for more time to create, inspire and teach!
