My Project

In a Montessori classroom, the floor isn’t just for walking — it’s a place for thinking, creating, building, and collaborating! Our Upper Elementary students love to spread out with their work, whether it’s solving big math problems, sketching out science experiments, or diving into a good book. Right now, we’re missing a soft, comfortable space where they can do their best learning. A large classroom carpet would give our students a cozy spot to gather, work, and connect — just the way Montessori intended. Help us bring more comfort, creativity, and community into our daily learning adventures. Thank you for supporting our amazing young learners!
