Rugged Rug

Help me give my students a rug for a comfortable place to work and have meetings!

FULLY FUNDED! Mr. Cicero's classroom raised $725

My Project

Every morning we have our morning meeting. Our morning meetings are vital for me to determine where each and every of my students are at emotionally. We have a special meeting place where we sit at the “blocks.” The blocks are a set of storage bins that my students are able to sit on so we can have our meetings and discussions. We have evolved to make this area a space where students are doing more and more activities. With this space that involves even more traffic, our rug has taken a beating. With a Ruggable rug, I will be able to maintain a clean rug because of its ability to be removed and washed.

The Ruggable rug is an easy-to-clean two-piece system.

The removable rug cover is 100% machine-washable, water-resistant, and stain-resistant. It attaches to a nonslip Ruggable rug pad. With your help you would provide a rug that will be used for years to come.
