Help Organize Us in the New Year!

My students need chair pockets and mailbox slots to help organize us for the new year!

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Dager's classroom raised $417

My Students

My students mean everything to me. Their drive to always do better amazes me. These materials will give me the opportunity to support the learning in my classroom.

My students come to school each day with a desire to learn.

We lack resources in my school due to budget cuts and funding. We are also a Title I School. Most of our students are economically disadvantaged. This does not stop our students from wanting to learn! They enter the school each day with a smile on their face and excited as to what each day will bring.

My Project

We need help organizing our materials! We have two students that share one desk due to rotating classes.

It is very hard to stay organized due to lack of space.

The chair pockets will give us extra storage for our book and notebooks. This will also avoid books from getting torn being stuffed into our small desks. These pockets will provide a space for items that we need access to quickly.

The mailboxes will be a space for the students to receive paperwork and also turn paperwork in to the teacher. I currently have 2 kids sharing a slot in the mailboxes I have. This 2nd set will give each student their own mailbox slot!
