Mrs. Burton from Portland OR is requesting reading nooks, desks & storage through DonorsChoose, the most trusted classroom funding site for teachers.

Safe Storage for Instruments

Help me give my students storage for instruments. Our instrument closet does not hold all of the instruments that both students and the school own, nor do they fit in students' lockers.

My Project

Students need a space to store their instruments that is both safe and accessible. We do not have any shelving in some of the rooms at school where students keep their things. Most instrument cases are too large to keep in student lockers, especially since there are two students to a locker. We have a small room with wood shelves in our band room that only holds about half of our inventory.

These shelves will provide a safe place for our equipment and school capital.

It will help us to stay organized and keep track of our things, as well as provide students easy access to their instruments during the school day.
