It's greatly appreciated. It has allowed my students the freedom and comfort to lounge during art lessons.

When they first seen the carpet they were so happy that it was big and was able to fit the entire class comfortably. This donation has really elevated learning time and down time in between lessons . My students are very pleased with the donation.
