Shelf Esteem: Empowering Students with Organization

Help me give my students new book shelves and storage space for their individual new curriculum materials.

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Turner's classroom raised $1,036

This project is fully funded

My Project

Our students are incredible and love learning. With proper storage, students can easily access their materials, stay focused, and take ownership of their learning. These shelves will transform our space as we dive into new books and workbooks and minimize screentime to use in addition to our physical materials when it is needed most. Having shelves will also reduce clutter, boost independence, and build confidence.

Many of our classrooms need proper shelving, so thank you so much for your consideration as we work on this fun organizational project that will benefit students and teachers.
