GRAND PRIZE WINNER

Mrs. Mosely

STEM Classroom
Hornets Nest Elementary
Charlotte, North Carolina

“Currently my classroom consists of different zones for collaborative and individual learning. KI furniture can help me bring it to life by adding brighter colors, allowing my kids to freely move (wheel and push) the furniture easily…I truly believe a new classroom environment will allow the kids to focus while still having fun.”
