My Project

Lighting Up Learning with a Cozy Scooby-Doo Star Theme

I’m requesting a classroom carpet and LED lights to create a warm, welcoming space for my 3rd graders.

Our classroom is bursting with personalities and with a Scooby-Doo and stars theme, these items will only bring comfort, calm, and a whole lot of fun to our learning environment. The carpet will offer a cozy spot for reading and group time, while the lights will add soothing ambiance that helps students feel at home and focused.

Thank you for helping us shine bright together!
