My Project

There's nothing better than gathering my students on the carpet- it's where learning, connection, and engagement thrive. Right now, students have to sit on the bare floor which can make them uncomfortable in the space where they focus most.

With your support, we can bring a bright, welcoming carpet to our classroom- one that gives each student their own space to sit, learn, and feel at home.

Every contribution makes a difference, and we're so grateful for your generosity. Thank you for helping us create a more comfortable, engaging space!
