Gather ‘Round: a Rug to Bring Us Together

Help me give my students a classroom rug where students can comfortably sit!

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Harter's classroom raised $428

My Project

In our classroom, learning happens everywhere—not just at desks. A classroom rug would provide my students with a cozy, welcoming space to sit, learn, and connect. It would offer an alternate seating area where students can feel more comfortable and relaxed as they read, collaborate with classmates, or engage in whole-group lessons.

This rug would become our community gathering spot—a place where we can all come together to start our day, share stories, explore new ideas, and support one another.

Whether we’re diving into a book, having a class discussion, or enjoying a mindfulness moment, having a soft, designated space on the floor would make a world of difference.

With your help, we can create a warm and inclusive learning environment where every student has a place to sit, belong, and thrive.
