Big Boost to BYDS:
PTO Invests in New Desk for
Students and Teachers

Thank you, parents!

One of the biggest boosts to the student learning environment so far this year has come to BYDS by way of PTO's significant investment in the brand new student desks, student chairs, and new teacher desks.  PTO's funding, of course, comes straight from the parents, and it was this important decision by the PTO leadership to support our new educational facility in this marvelous fashion.

All of the teachers' desks have arrived and are in place for the Elementary School faculty-25 teacher desks in all. Each teacher desk has two pedestals, both with drawers that lock, and the wooden finish coheres well with the new classroom cabinetry.  

The student desks and chairs will be arriving in two separate shipments. The first shipment, which provided desks for First Grade and Fifth Grade classrooms, arrived in time to be installed and ready for Opening Day.  We are expecting the balance of the shipment to arrive in early September.  The desks feature a glossy wooden surface, with a long pencil/pen trough at the front.  The interesting feature about these desks is that the top surface area is 40% larger than the older desks.  This is great for the kids, though there are some challenges in terms of arranging the desks in such a way as to allow for the greatest teacher mobility in the classroom.  Admin staff, along with some knowledgeable parents, will be taking a close look at the full classroom layout over the next few weeks to determine the most efficient way to set up the classrooms.

All of us at BYDS are so grateful for this substantial gesture of support to our new facility by the parents of Beth Yeshurun Day School. We thank the PTO leadership for demonstrating the spirit of our community in yet another major contribution to Build Our Future.
