My Project

Hello, generous donors! My classroom is a space where students learn essential life and job skills, preparing them for success beyond high school. To better support their needs, I am requesting tables to replace traditional desks.

Tables will promote collaboration, hands-on learning, and engagement by allowing students to work together more easily.

Many of my students benefit from small-group instruction, peer support, and interactive activities, which are difficult with individual desks. With tables, we can create a more inclusive, flexible, and functional learning environment that meets their diverse needs.

Your support will help create a classroom that fosters teamwork, independence, and real-world skills. Thank you for helping my students thrive!
