Ms. Garris’ 1st Year Classroom!

Help me give my students a welcoming carpet and bean bag chair to help create a cozy reading nook where my students can feel comfortable, enjoy books, and develop a love for reading in a warm, inviting classroom.

Raleigh, NC Grades 3-5

My Project

My cart includes a welcoming classroom carpet and a comfortable bean bag chair that will help me create a cozy and inviting reading nook for my students. I want to provide them with a special space where they can relax, choose a book, and become excited about reading. As a teacher preparing my classroom, purchasing all of the materials needed to create a positive learning environment can quickly become expensive. Donor support would help me provide these items without having to cover every classroom expense myself. Your contribution will help create a warm space where my students can read, learn, and grow throughout the school year.

This project will directly impact historically underfunded classrooms.
