My Project

Our current classroom rug is very old with stains we cannot clean out of it. We shampoo it several times a year with very minimal progress. The stains always show back up. My SPED students deserve a nice rug to sit on to do their work and to play on. They use the rug every day for various activities including whole group and individual instruction as well as during computer program time. My Special Education students would be absolutely thrilled and love to have a brand new, clean and comfortable classroom rug!
