A Cozy Stage for Young Musicians

Help me give my students a carpet for a cozy and inviting learning space where all students are included and feel safe to focus, create and collaborate.

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Virginia Davis's classroom raised $762

My Project

My students come to music class excited to sing, move, and create together. Right now, our designated space to sit, learn, and build community is old and threadbare. A new rug would transform our classroom into a welcoming and organized space where students can focus, feel safe, and fully engage in their musical learning.

This carpet will serve as the foundation—literally—for everything we do in class.

From circle songs and movement games to rhythm practice and story songs, a soft, colorful rug will help my students stay focused, comfortable, and connected during music class.

A new rug will help improve both the physical comfort and acoustic environment of our room.

Thank you for helping provide a warm and inspiring space where music can come alive!
