My Project
Our 9th-grade students are bright, hardworking, and balancing many responsibilities. What makes them special is their determination to succeed, even when staying organized is tough. Binders are an essential tool to help them keep everything in one place.
The goal is for these binders to help students easily track notes, assignments, and handouts from multiple classes.
These will help reduce lost work and frustration, allowing them to focus on learning and build strong study habits.
Being organized boosts their confidence and equips them with skills they’ll use throughout high school and beyond.
