My Project

A warm, welcoming classroom helps young learners feel safe, confident, and ready to learn. In our Title I kindergarten classroom, a new classroom rug will create a cozy gathering space where students come together for morning meetings, read-alouds, small-group lessons, and community-building activities.

The rug will become the heart of our classroom, giving every child a comfortable place to learn, collaborate, and grow.

It will help create an inviting environment where students feel valued, engaged, and excited to participate each day.

Your support will provide more than just a rug—it will help create a nurturing learning space where our kindergarten students can build friendships, develop a love of learning, and make lasting memories. Thank you for helping us create a classroom where every child belongs.

This project will directly impact historically underfunded classrooms.
