Programs: Flexible Seating Insert Image Working... My Albums Page of 4 Prev Next Please select an image. Basic Needs Ensuring that every child's basic needs are met is the key to success in our schools. 66% of children in the Santa Fe Public Schools qualify for free and reduced lunch. 24% of children (school age) live in poverty in Santa Fe. Principals, teachers and counselors work to provide the basics including clothing (school uniforms, socks, warm coats) as well as nutritious snacks to students to support a healthy learning environment. When basic needs are met, it puts kids on the right track for learning.

I would like to give my students flexible seating options for varied work weather group or individual. I would also like to provide seating that addresses students' needs to move throughout the day depending on their assigned activity.
