  • Classroom Rug Needed!

    Funded Mar 13, 2025

    Thank you so much for your generous donation to our classroom project "Classroom Rug Needed!" I am so happy to have a classroom rug where all my students fit. I have 25 students and they all fit on the rug, no one is left out or sitting on the floor. Thank you for providing us with a rug that goes with our classroom theme.

    The day we received our rug, they were excited because it was new and big. My students love the fact that they all fit in it. It has 24 circles on it, but all 25 of them fit because it is big and spacious. They love it and i do too! Thank you for everything, your support, kindness, and donations. We are grateful for you and this organization!”

    With gratitude,

    Ms. Valdez

I teach in an inner city public school located in the heart of South Los Angeles. The school is a Title 1, which means that the majority of the students receive free/reduced price lunch. I teach a wonderful group of second graders, who come to school eager and ready to learn.
