Meet West Street School, The Haskell Classroom Makeover Contest Winners

“Winning the Incredible Classroom Makeover Contest is more than just a new set of desks and chairs for our classroom” said Justine Mackinnon, Teacher and Contest Winner. “By providing us with modern and flexible seating, Haskell Office is providing us with opportunities to learn and grow in ways not possible with the limited seating we grew used to. My students are able to work more collaboratively with others, ultimately preparing them for expectations of collaboration in higher education and the work force. Plus, the students who need more movement in their day are able to think critically while also meeting their physical needs. Additionally, the new furniture promotes healthier habits rather than a sedentary lifestyle. Winning the Incredible Classroom Makeover Contest has provided my students with a renewed love for learning.”
