My students travel between 6 classes a day. The problem is that they don't have anywhere to put their books. They have to carry their textbooks, binders, and writing utensils with them to all their classes. The students complain that their backs are hurting...and I don't blame them.
I teach 6th - 8th graders in an elementary Chicago Public School.
We are a small school with a great community. However, because we are smaller than other schools, we need to fundraise for a lot of the supplies that other schools already have.
Our school is over 100 years old with a lot of charm. At the time the school was built lockers weren't put in. Please help modernize our school.
My Project
Just like I had, I would love for my students to have lockers to store their belongings between classes. Having lockers will help them to organize themselves, teach them responsibility, and honestly... stop their backs from hurting from carrying all heavy books all day.
Helping my students get lockers will not only impact this year students but will last for many years to come.
Your donation will help my students get a space in the school that will feel like their own.
