Help me give my students lockers, a secure space to stow their personal belongings.
FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Susan Murray's classroom raised $537
This project is fully funded
Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month
This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because
it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.
My Project
Our special education classroom is full of bright, capable students who deserve the same sense of safety and security as everyone else. Right now, our students don’t have a designated space to keep their belongings during the day, which leads to constant worry about their personal items. Something as simple as a set of lockers could make a world of difference in helping them feel safe and respected.
Having lockers in the classroom would not only protect students' belongings but also help them build independence and responsibility.
Knowing their items are secure gives them peace of mind and lets them focus on learning, socializing, and growing. This small change can have a big impact on their confidence and daily experience at school.
Your donation can directly support this meaningful upgrade to our classroom. By contributing, you’re helping create a calm, respectful environment where students can concentrate on their goals instead of worrying about lost or moved items. Every bit helps, and your generosity will have a lasting effect on our students’ sense of security and well-being.
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
