Your kindness has truly transformed our learning environment. The flexible seating and new chairs have made it possible for students to learn in ways that best meet their individual needs, giving them the freedom to choose spaces that help them feel comfortable, focused, and ready to learn each day.\r\n\r\nThis project has had a meaningful impact on my students' learning. Since adding the new seating options, I have seen students more engaged in lessons, more willing to collaborate with peers, and better able to regulate their energy and attention.

The flexible seating has created an environment that fosters both focus and creativity. My students and I are so grateful to the Bezos Family Foundation and to all who helped make this project possible.
