My Project

Our classroom is a place where students gather to learn, share ideas, and feel safe and supported every day. A soft carpet with a calming leaf design would give students a welcoming space for morning meetings, read‑alouds, small‑group lessons, and independent work. Right now, our carpet area is worn and uncomfortable, making it difficult for students to sit and focus for extended periods of time. In addition, our current storage baskets for notebooks are cracked and broken from years of daily use. New, sturdy baskets would help keep student notebooks organized and easily accessible, creating a more orderly learning environment. These simple supplies will make a meaningful difference in student comfort, organization, and learning.

This project will directly impact historically underfunded classrooms.
