Therapy Adopts a Classroom

Have you ever thought about adopting a classroom? Adopt-A-Classroom is a non-profit organization that directs 100% of all donations to the classroom teacher. The teacher is given full discretion to "purchase resources that meet the student needs and increase opportunity for classroom success." In 2009, Therapy donated a total of $6,800.00 to community classrooms--giving teachers the chance to purchase WWII books for 8th grade research papers, educational DVD's encouraging "learning by doing," and prisms for better understanding wavelength and frequency of light.

Through this program, our Adopt-A-Classroom teachers are able to send Therapy updates on purchases made with the donated amounts! Here is a note from one of our teachers:

"As we leave for the winter break, I realized how low I was on some supplies in the classroom. Knowing that I'll have new dry erase markers waiting for me when I get back is great! You never can have enough of them. Also, the binders and page protectors will help organize the business ads and promotion messages for this year's yearbook. Again, thank you for your generous support!"

Therapy Furniture Store (SF) is pleased to present original artwork from Aaron Kraten. As we post this blog entry, six pieces have been crated and are making their way to our store in San Francisco. Look forward to seeing them in the store this coming weekend (9/26). Here is a sneak peak:

Aaron Kraten was born in 1974 in San Francisco, California, but now works out of Los Angeles. While establishing himself as an artist, he took jobs in factories—once working a stint as a courier. He gained recognition in the earlier part of this decade,and subsequently set up a factory-like studio in a Costa Mesa loft on the Eastside.
