My Students

Our busy Middle School Campus abounds with excited students ready to have a successful day. Backpacks are loaded with school supplies and lunches. They arrive in colorful hoodies and warm sweatshirts. The day is busy - moving from class to class quickly and maybe not so efficiently....

My Project

The materials and supplies that we are requesting for our school will greatly help keep our campus organized. We just need your help in getting our Lost and Found routine more successful. Currently, the kids can't find their misplaced items, and the office staff spends much time every day to try and help students and parents locate lost items.

So much time is spent trying to organize the lost items that the office staff works past their regular ending time.

The Z racks and the rolling carts will be a huge positive addition to our very busy and wonderful school!
