This teacher needs your help!

A Clean Carpet for Shopshire's Salamanders!

Help me give my students a clean, colorful, and comfortable place to sit when we are doing lessons on the floor. Unfortunately, there's a shortage of classroom carpets in the county and teachers have to get their own.

My Project

My students love reading time after recess. This is their chance to unwind, relax, and let their imaginations go with the story. A clean carpet will make getting comfy and cozy on the floor a lot easier and so much better. Furthermore, it's nice to have furnishings that appeal to the eye. It creates such a good atmosphere for teaching and learning.

Although, they're young and physically resilient, even little folk don't want to sit on a hard and unforgiving floor!

Thank you for helping make learning a little more comfortable for our kids.
