My Project
I am seeking funding to provide my students with a large classroom rug for group learning activities and a consistent supply of pencils to support their daily work. These simple yet essential items will help foster a welcoming, organized, and productive learning environment for all students.
Many of my students come from diverse and economically challenged backgrounds.
They often arrive at school without the basic supplies needed to be successful. Additionally, our classroom lacks a large rug where students can comfortably gather for morning meetings, read-alouds, small group instruction, and other collaborative activities.
A classroom rug provides a shared space that promotes community and helps manage classroom routines. Meanwhile, having pencils readily available ensures no student is left behind due to lack of materials. These resources will help meet students’ academic and emotional needs and remove barriers to learning.
Nearly all students from low‑income households
