Help me give my students binders to organize their school materials throughout the day

My Project

Our students at NMS use binders to keep their materials organized. Students use binders to carry school materials such as Chromebooks, writing utensils, notebooks, and assignments. It's a lot to carry around. The binders hold everything and have a strap. This project is for our students who cannot afford to spend money on a quality binder.

During our daily advisory classes, we teach students organizational skills to help them be successful in school.

These lessons focus on using a planner and organizing a binder that allows students to locate the needed materials.

This project will directly impact historically underfunded classrooms.
