Help me give my students storage bins to keep the mice out of our stuff, please!

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Fabian's classroom raised $507

My Project

I work with two third-grade classes (60 amazing children). They range in diversity and ability. Some are Autistic, and many receive special education services. We are a Title I school, and all of my students are from low-income households, so they all receive free breakfast and lunch every day.

Unfortunately, we share our classroom with mice.

They leave their marks everywhere - a scratch here, a nibble there, droppings everywhere. I've sent the messages, completed the forms, and still, we have mice. I've set traps (and removed them), sprinkled the cinnamon, and done all the things. The mice are still here, so I'm asking for your help now.

I'd like to put a little more space between the things we use every day and the mice's germs. Hence, the storage bins. They'll add an extra layer to keep the mice out and our materials germ-free. Our bathroom is constantly out of soap, so that will help keep the germs off, too. I realize it's not exciting, but we could really use these things and are grateful for your support!!
