FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Ellis's classroom raised $705

My Project
I have great students who come to class ready to learn and create. We are getting a larger space so that we can create larger scale art pieces and stretch their imagination. However with the new space comes another challenge: Organized storage spaces.
Organized storage allows you to preserve and protect supplies so they’re available to everyone.
This ensures equal opportunity for all students to explore creative expression. With clear, organized storage, students can learn responsibility by helping manage materials. It empowers them to take ownership of the space—fostering independence, pride, and respect for the classroom.
Having accessible shelves also supports routines and reduces stress and chaos during class.
Nearly all students from low‑income households
Data about students' economic need comes from the National Center for Education Statistics, via our partners at MDR Education. Learn more
