Backpack Solution!

Help me give my students an area where they can place their bookbags.

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Miele's classroom raised $168

This project is fully funded

My Project

Every year, my scholars do not like placing their belongings (bookbags/jackets) on the back of their chairs or on the floor. Therefore, I would like to be able to provide an area that has ample space for them to place their belongings in a designated area in the room. The plastic baskets will be used to have students place their bookbags in them. The large woven baskets will be used for scholars to place jackets, purses, and gym bags in them. Students will feel that this space is comfortable and accommodating to their needs.
