Your generous gift of the rug brought immediate joy to the students — they were overjoyed when it arrived, jumping onto it, lying down, and even rolling around with laughter. It was a simple moment, but one that showed how much a thoughtful donation can brighten a classroom.\r\nThe rug has quickly become an important part of our daily routine. We use it during every lesson for whole‑group instruction, read‑aloud, and community-building activities. Having a comfortable, defined space on the floor helps students settle, focus, and participate more readily. It also makes transitions smoother and gives students a consistent spot where they know they belong.\r\nYour support does more than provide a physical item; it enriches the learning environment and helps foster a sense of belonging among the children. Thank you for investing in our classroom and in the students' day-to-day learning experiences.
