Our Classroom Is Out of This World

Help me give my students a rug, curtains, and floor sweeper to help create a "space" that is out of our world in the classroom.

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Edwards's classroom raised $190

This project is fully funded

My Project

My students are creative and hard-working. They have overcome many challenges in order to even make it to school, and when they come to class they are excited to learn. We are creating a STEM/Art Room on the first floor, so students with mobility issues can safely attend elective classes in an equitable way.

The galaxy carpet will give students a comfortable space to do floor activities such as hot wheels, puzzles, and catapults.

We will use the curtains to cover up the office door, so students aren't distracted by the contents of the forbidden room, and the sweeper will be used to keep the carpet picked up and inviting.
