Shred Your Life Away

Help me give my students the ability to keep their files secure. Every year I have to shred confidential documents.

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Johnson's classroom raised $243

This project is fully funded

Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

Celebrate 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 Students

I am the school counselor . My students show up to school everyday excited to learn and excited to be in person. They do this despite all the challenges that they face and their constant struggles. They love their teachers and walk through our doors with smiles on their faces.

My Project

This shredder will allow me to quickly and easily shred confidential documents every year. Every year I shred piles of paper and it takes me hours with our office shredder. I have a small office with little storage, I do not have the capacity to keep files longer than the expected 3 years. This shredder will also allow me to stay organized and have the capacity to hold much needed files. This shredder will also allow me to reduce the amount of non essential work and allow me to carry on and support children more.
