Four Classroom Rugs for Brand New Public School
Funded Aug 27, 2010Thank you so much for your generous donations of our brand new rugs for our brand new classrooms! Having these colorful and comfortable rugs in our classrooms have enhanced the learning experiences of our students. The first time the students saw the rugs they were overcome with excitement of having their own personal space. Now, when you walk into our classrooms and look at the rug, you might see the whole class engaged in learning, a few children working together on a special project, or children reading their favorite books with their friends. We also use the colors on the rug to play learning games with our students.
Each of your wonderful donations have directly contributed to our students' happiness in the classroom. The smallest things make the biggest difference in the lives of young learners. Thank you again for your generosity.”
With gratitude,

Two Classroom Rugs Needed
Funded Dec 29, 2009Thank you so much for the two beautiful rugs that you donated to our classroom. They have made such a huge difference already. Not only have they created more room for our students to sit, but the class is learning the responsibility of taking care of these new rugs by vacuuming them daily and holding each other accountable for keeping the rugs and our classroom clean.
Every morning, the students begin their day on the large rug for Morning Meeting. This is where we discuss the happenings of the day and start the day off in a positive way. The large rug is also used for our mini-lessons in all subject areas. As you can see, the large colorful rug has already been put to good use! The students seem more excited and engaged because they have a comfortable place to sit.
The small purple rug is generally used for small group reading and a place for the students to sit comfortably during writing workshop. There is now enough room for 6 students to sit in a circle and read or write together. We have even had to limit the number of kids on the small rug because every student wants to sit there!
Thank you again for your generosity. Ours and many other classrooms benefit from your donations and they are greatly appreciated. Public schools don't often have the resources to buy new materials for the classrooms and you made this possible for our classroom. We absolutely love our new rugs!”
With gratitude,
Ms. Ricciardi
Vacuum Needed! Clean Rugs for Kids!
Funded Dec 22, 2006Thank you so much for your grateful donation of a brand new vacuum to our 2nd grade class at PS 126 in Manhattan. We can't explain in words how appreciative we are. On a daily basis, I teach my students the importance of taking care of and being responsible for our classroom environment and supplies. The children often tell me that we need to vacuum the rug and we search endlessly throughout the school for a vacuum that works usually without success. Now, we do not need to worry about that any longer thanks to your donation. This will create another way for us to make sure that our classroom is a safe and clean place to learn. We are so excited to use our new vacuum. Thank you.
