We are so grateful for our new rug, which provides all of our students with a comfortable and flexible space to meet in our language room. \r\n\r\nStudents have already become accustomed to gathering on the rug instead of at desks, and to dancing and playing games with their classmates in this newly defined space. Often, our students don't ask where our materials come from or how teachers support the everyday learning with hands-on materials or resources. In this case, we have been explicit about calling out the kindness and generosity of donors like you in supporting our school to create safe and comfortable learning spaces for students with the donation of the funds to purchase this classroom rug.

They provide a quick, efficient way for students to pick up and turn in workbooks, folders, and assignments.
