Collaboration & Community in the Round

As part of the ongoing process to provide 21st century learning and interactive environments for students, this grant funds 8 movable, folding tables with attached benches for the “small gym” lunch and gathering space. The circular design promotes eye contact, discussion, inclusion and interaction, fostering new relationships and resulting in calmer lunch periods. This collaborative learning environment provides new learning opportunities for students during non-lunch times as this space is utilized by teachers for cross class collaborations and projects.
