My Project

I am requesting new area rugs for my classroom.

The smiley face design is ideal as it provides individual spots for each child, promoting organization and personal space.

The rugs will not only enhance the classroom's aesthetic but also create a comfortable and engaging learning environment. Could you please assist with procuring the necessary .

I ‘d appreciate it if they could be delivered before the new semester starts. kids also enjoy the new rugs and I want to use these rugs for long term.

Thank you for your help and kindness
