This freedom has already had a positive impact. Students are demonstrating greater ownership of their learning, improved focus, and increased engagement during independent and group work. It has been inspiring to watch them discover which seating options help them concentrate and feel their best.\r\n\r\nAlong with the new seating, the basic classroom supplies you funded have ensured that every student has the tools they need to be successful.
