My Project

Every child deserves a place where they feel excited to read, learn, and grow. My students come to the media center eager to explore new books, participate in interactive read-alouds, and collaborate with their classmates.

A large classroom rug will transform our library into a warm, welcoming gathering space where students can comfortably listen to stories, discuss books, practice literacy skills, and build a lifelong love of reading.

This rug and a variety of seating options will create a sense of community, encourage engagement, and provide a dedicated area where imagination, curiosity, and learning can flourish every day.

This project will directly impact historically underfunded classrooms.
