My Project

We love to create a calm and beautiful classroom environment for our students! That doesn't just come from having a clean play space- but also clean storage. We have the pleasure of having some gorgeous built-in shelves in the classroom and storage space in the attic, but we are lacking in reliable and aesthetically pleasing shelves and storage to accommodate both of those spaces. By funding this project, we will be able to our classroom shelves stocked with well packaged materials and our attic space organized for faster prep time.
