My Project
Our students are so excited about their new ELA curriculum, Bookworms. Instead of receiving a large textbook full of pages that contain stories, they will actually receive their own copy of the published storybook. That means each student will get 24 individual books that they will need a place to store in the classroom all year long. There isn't a student desk big enough to hold all of those books! These storage bins will be the perfect place for their books to be kept for the 180 days of school.
Half of students from low‑income households
