My Project

I intend to introduce a classroom rug to provide students with an additional space in our classroom. It's important to offer alternatives to sitting at desks, as students often grow weary of this arrangement. A classroom rug serves as an excellent substitute.

My primary goal is to instill a passion for reading among my students.

By gathering as a community on the classroom rug, we can foster a more comfortable and engaging environment for reading.

It's imperative that my students have access to a classroom rug for their comfort, learning, and overall educational experience. Each student is unique and brings their own brilliance to our classroom.

I'm excited to show each donor how much my students will benefit from having a classroom rug and the option for alternative seating arrangements.
