Classroom Rug

Help me give my students a rug for our cold, hard concrete floors.

My Project

Our school has concrete floors in all the rooms. The floors are cold and hard and not nice for the students to sit on. Last year, I was given a rug and it was wonderful but so much of the room is still just cold, hard floor. I also had a student fall and get a concussion because of the floor.

This rug would help cover up more space to keep the kids safe.

Keeping the kids safe is so important! Also, sitting on the floor without a rug is so uncomfortable that the kids can’t focus. If the floor is more comfortable students can focus longer for stories and learning!

I know classroom rugs are a little more expensive, but they have to be this style for the janitors to be able to vacuum. That’s why I’m hoping donors can help support this project.
