During the last school year S.S. Dillow was marked to close due to structural issues. I still teach in Fort Worth ISD and the beautiful rug you supplied my classroom with is still in use, it is at Boulevard Heights now.\r\n\r\nBoulevard Heights is a special education campus that serves cognitively impaired and/or behavioral students. This is only the 2nd year they have had a certified music teacher on their campus and the first year that teacher has had a room. This campus serves a population of students that are from 3-22 years of age and all of them are enjoying using this rug during their music classes.\r\n\r\nI fully intend to send pictures of the rug being used last year and this year as soon as possible. Not only has this rug made a huge impact on the 400 students I saw last year, but it continues to have an impact on the 50 students I see at Boulevard Heights, their families and all of my colleagues that see it.
