New Desks, New Hope for Idaho Classrooms | Boise News

A first-grade teacher in Buhl, Idaho, is getting a classroom makeover thanks to a surprise $10,000 grant from the Idaho Lottery’s Classroom Wishlist program — complete with 30 brand-new desks and chairs. The old furniture was literally falling apart, even collapsing under students’ weight, making learning uncomfortable and distracting. After six years of teaching, Tenecia Cooper says the upgrade will boost student morale and focus, while her principal calls it a vital investment the district couldn’t afford on its own. The Lottery rep called the visit eye-opening — seeing firsthand how these small changes make a huge difference for kids every day.
