My Project

Our carpet is the heart of the classroom! This is where students gather for mini lessons, small group collaboration, and to get cozy for independent reading and writing time.

Students are best equipped to learn and stay focused when they are comfortable, and this new classroom carpet has extra roomy individual squares and is noted for its durability.

Our current carpet is well loved, but is fraying and stained after many years of use, accommodates a more limited number of students, and has smaller squares creating a more cramped experience.

In addition, a beautiful, comfy area rug will create a cozier and more inviting atmosphere in our library. Students love to stretch out and dive into books, and this carpet features a plush, cushioned layer they will love. It is also durable and easy to clean, helping to create a classroom environment that students can take pride in.
