The round table has become a central gathering place where students feel comfortable sitting together for small-group counseling sessions, check-ins, lunch bunches, and collaborative activities.

The new seating arrangement allowed everyone to engage in active listening and communication in the best way. \r\n\r\nWhen students first saw the new furniture, their reactions were priceless. They immediately commented on how inviting and \"cozy\" the space felt. A few students even said it looked more like a place they wanted to talk and learn, rather than an office. The stools and chairs give them options, and having a choice in where to sit helps them feel more relaxed and engaged.\r\n\r\nThanks to your support, my students are moving forward with lessons and projects focused on social-emotional learning in a more appropriate way.
