HBW Creativity Corner & Flexible Seating Grant Interview
Maggie Manning testimonial:
"It has taken me until October to get my act together enough to make this post, but LOOK AT MY CLASSROOM
The biggest thank you to Verona Foundation for Educational Excellence (VFEE) for funding the flexible seating, my principal, administrative assistant, and custodial staff for supporting and helping with this project, and Conor Manning Dennis Sedaille Dennis R. Sedaille Lori Ann Tucci Sedaille Mark Manning Kerry Breslin for hours of hard labor glueing carpet tiles, building furniture, hanging projectors and curtains, cutting bulletin board letters and generally just listening to me stress about getting everything done
My kids have been responding really well to flexible seating so far. They took their first unit test yesterday, and many of them noted that they’ve never felt as comfortable and focused while taking a test.
Beyond thankful for everyone who helped with this dream, and excited to see how the rest of the year goes!"
