Everyone eagerly worked together to place them beneath the chairs and tables, taking real pride in preparing our classroom. Now, during lessons, there's a buzz of excitement whenever we need to move the furniture. Students actually enjoy sliding the tables across the room!\r\n\r\nIt's not just a safer experience, it's one they've come to love. Your support has made our classroom both functional and joyful, giving students a space where creativity, movement, and learning come together seamlessly.
