Ms. Holmes's classroom raised $683

Creating a Fun, Welcoming Classroom!

Help me give my students sufficient storage solutions, including bins, space-saving organizational files, carts, and access shelving to facilitate efficient classroom management.

Greensboro, NC Grades PreK-2

My Project

We lack sufficient storage and space for centers and classroom rotations, as well as for organizing subject materials. Presently, I am using storage bins that are not always easily accessible, which can impact the efficiency and organization of the learning process. These setups are designed to accommodate centers, classroom rotations, and organization of subject materials.

Imagine a warm, inviting classroom where every student feels valued, supported, and truly fulfilled.

I've dedicated myself wholeheartedly to fostering their success, and I sincerely appreciate your help in this mission. Together, we're creating a positive, inspiring environment where all can thrive. Too often, students lack the necessary resources and space to learn effectively. I simply want all students to have access to essential supplies, comfortable furniture, nourishing snacks, and a supportive space to succeed. With your help in providing storage cabinets, mobile organizers, and containers, they will get just that! I'm super excited to see what all this new school year will bring!

This project will directly impact historically underfunded classrooms.
