Funded Jul 13, 2015I just wanted to take this opportunity to say thank you for your generous donation and support. I wanted you to personally know how this beautiful rug completes our classroom. We are well into the school year and I can honestly say that having this space for the students to gather has made such a big difference in our daily routines. Each morning, students eagerly gather after they have unpacked to show that they are ready to start the day. Students also use the carpet as a comfortable place to stretch out and read with their buddies during center time. The most important impact has been with organization. On many occasions, we may start something, only to run out of time! We may quickly need to head to gym or lunch with little time to put our things away. With each student having their "own spot", we can easily pick up where we left off, as each student has their materials waiting for them right where they left them.
A few of my students had asked where I had gotten the money from to buy such a nice rug. When I explained about my project and told them where the money had come from, their responses were priceless and genuine. One student in particular said, "They must be very nice people to help kids they don't know!" And I agree!!!! A big thank you again for our big, beautiful, and fabulous rug!!!”
With gratitude,
Mrs. Wheeler
