Is It Time To Update Your School’s Furniture?
With summer winding down, it’s back to school season again which means ensuring you have the right resources and a prepared learning environment for a productive school year. Safety, comfort, and a welcoming atmosphere are paramount for academic institutions so updating your school furniture accordingly can definitely help. Here are several ways to determine if it’s time to pull the trigger on new furniture.
The first obvious sign is furniture that is cracked, chipped, or has other physical damage. Keep a running list of questionable chairs, fixtures, tables, etc. so you can assess what needs to be replaced immediately based on your school’s budget. The last thing any school needs is to create any unnecessary liabilities.

Let’s start by defining STEM, which is an acronym that stands for Science, Technology, Engineering and Math. In the acronym STEAM, the “A” refers to Art.
