My Project

My second-grade students love our big classroom carpet! We do a lot of learning, playing and dancing on it. We created tall skyscrapers or long stable bridges with Lego blocks! We dance our hearts out to songs and we traveled around the world via the virtual field trips on our beloved carpet!

So much happens in our big classroom carpet that often it gets very filthy!

Through this project I would like to get a carpet cleaner machine to wash and clean our carpet weekly. This would help us have a clean environment to learn and play. Having a carpet cleaner machine would also help prevent the spread of germs. Please help make this dream come true!
