My Project
I am requesting funding for a desk and supplies needed by the teacher assistants, who are 11th or 12 grade students. Desks are expensive to buy, but they are needed in the class to ensure that the TA student has space to work. The desks in the classroom need to be used by students, which can leave the teacher's assistant with nowhere to work. A teacher's assistant student also needs the desk to have a decent amount of space, due to the heavy workload they receive. These students work hard to help out, and deserve to have a space of their own to do their work.
