My Project

As a brand new teacher, I had very limited resources coming into my first year. I have been so grateful for what I have, but I want to give all my students the best that I can! This carpet would offer a large, comfortable space to meet as an entire class! It would give us the freedom to join together comfortably, and it would last for several years to come!

My entire class would be so excited to have such a large and vibrant carpet to play on, learn on, and so much more!

Please help me give my students this incredible carpet, where we will spend time becoming a classroom community together!
