Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

Celebrate Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.

My Project

In my classroom, staying organized is essential to student success. Each day, students turn in work, receive important papers, and manage classroom jobs—all of which require a reliable and consistent system. Right now, students share makeshift folders or pile their work in baskets, which leads to confusion, lost papers, and wasted instructional time. I’ve tried different systems over the years, but none of them have held up long-term or truly met our needs.

A sturdy wooden mailbox system isn’t just a piece of furniture—it’s a tool for building student independence, responsibility, and organization.

With individual slots for each student, these mailboxes will give them a consistent place to turn in and pick up assignments, store classroom materials, and manage their daily responsibilities. A high-quality mailbox system will last for years and help streamline transitions, reduce stress, and give students a greater sense of ownership over their learning.

By donating to our project, you’ll be helping my students stay organized, focused, and confident in their daily routines—setting them up for success in both academics and life.
