My Project

Classroom carpets will provide a designated space where students can gather for lessons, discussions, community meetings, read-alouds, and collaborative activities. A comfortable, organized meeting area helps students stay engaged, focused, and ready to learn.

These carpets will also create a welcoming classroom environment where students feel safe, included, and connected to their peers.

They will also improve student focus and participation during whole-group instruction.

My students are curious, creative, and eager to learn. They come to school each day ready to explore new ideas and support one another. Creating a comfortable and welcoming classroom environment will help them feel valued and empower them to do their best work.

This project will directly impact historically underfunded classrooms.
