<div>Help Us Build a *Chill Space* in Our ELA Classroom

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>I’m raising $500 to help transform my middle school ELA classroom at the Martha’s Vineyard Public Charter School into a space that better supports how students actually learn—and who they actually are.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>Last year, my middle school students took one look at the inherited classroom setup—all hard surfaces and no warmth—and began campaigning for a “cozy corner.” Inspired by them, we worked together to remove a built-in desk, staple used yoga mats to the wall, paint donated bookshelves, and add a rug (purchased out-of-pocket). A couple of generous bean bag donations later, and we had something resembling comfort.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>But that was just the beginning.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>This year, I want to build on that student-led momentum and fully reimagine the room. My goal is to create a space that accommodates different learning styles, different bodies, and different moods. In other words, a classroom that recognizes middle schoolers are not one-size-fits-all.

</div>

</div>

<div>What Your Donation Will Support

</div>

<div>Your contribution will help us divide the classroom into two zones:

</div>

<div>* Half desks (for traditional instruction)

</div>

<div>* Half vibes (for reading, reflection, small-group work, and quiet focus)

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>We hope to include:

</div>

<div>1. A classroom-safe rug (goodbye cold linoleum!)

</div>

<div>2. Two easy-to-clean vinyl couches

</div>

<div>3. One low “coffee table” to anchor the space and honor the fact that our 7th and 8th graders are ready to graduate into something more mature and calm

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>Why Space Matters for Learning

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>We know that physical space impacts learning outcomes. The Holistic Evidence and Design (HEAD) study from the UK looked at 153 classrooms and nearly 4,000 students. It found that thoughtful classroom design—especially aspects like lighting, personalization, connection, and links to nature—significantly improved student progress in reading, writing, and math. In short: how a classroom feels affects how students learn.

</div>

</div>

<div>Why This Matters on Martha’s Vineyard

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>Making sure school feels safe and supportive is especially important here. While the year-round population on the Island has grown by 24% in the past decade, housing stock has only increased 2.8%. Just 39% of homes are occupied year-round. Our students and their families often face housing insecurity and a high cost of living, and many classrooms reflect those pressures in subtle but real ways.

</div>

</div>

<div>If you’re able to donate, thank you. If you can’t, sharing this helps too. 

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>With Gratitude &amp; Vibes!
