Organized & Equipped: Mail Slots and Pencils for Success!

Help me give my students sturdy mail organizers to safely store their classroom necessities along with pre-sharpened pencils.

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Murphy's classroom raised $625

This project is fully funded

My Project

The wooden mail slots will help keep my classroom organized by providing each student with a designated space for important papers, assignments, and handouts. This will reduce lost work, promote responsibility, and streamline transitions, allowing for more efficient learning time.

Together, these items will create a more structured, prepared, and productive learning environment!

The pencils are an essential supply that ensures every student has the tools they need to participate fully in class. Having a steady supply eliminates the stress of forgotten or broken pencils and keeps students focused on their work instead of searching for materials.
