Making Space for Learning

Help me give my students their own brand new backpack and coat hooks!

My Project

Right now, my 24 students share only 20 hooks for their backpacks and coats. They work hard to organize their belongings throughout the day, but there is always a mess of bags and coats by the end of the day. Please help out our class by donating to get us some new hooks, so they can each have their own space to keep their belongings during the day. Though the kids have been creative and patient with this limited storage space, we are ready for a more efficiency in our space.
