Adjusting to Mendota Heights swivel desks

This year has seen many changes, good and bad. One of the most important of these changes is the teachers’ decisions of what seats they wanted in their classroom.

“The faculty were given the opportunity to choose what they wanted for their rooms versus just ordering a bunch of different desks,” said Jason Wenschlag. “We wanted to think long term for what we wanted to take with us. What you see in the classrooms, that’s what those teachers chose before we ordered them.”
Every room should have swivel desks. They are comfortable, functional, and allow people to work in almost any position they want. These desks are the most well-rounded seats in the school. Everyone should have the privilege of sitting in one every day.
