Totes and Shelving = Organization!

Help me give my students a place to put the overflow of instructional materials that will be in the classroom next year. We need a place to store using the shelves, something to store inside using the totes.

Celebrate Black Teachers and Students

This project is part of the Black History Month celebration because it supports a Black teacher or a school where the majority of the students are Black.

My Project

Our classroom is asking for plastic heavy duty five shelf utility shelves and storage totes that will be used to organize student and teacher materials.

Our school is shifting the entire kindergarten hall to another wing of the school.

The current rooms are small and bursting at the seams and we will be moving into smaller rooms. We already have some of the best curriculums and toys that keep learning fun, and we really do not want to throw anything away. Therefore, we really need a place to keep and store all of our kinder cool stuff!

The shelves will be used to hold and keep everything in its proper place and the storage boxes that do include lids will occupy the books, construction paper, barns, Little People, plastic horses, pencils, PlayDoh, paint, paintbrushes and Legos, just to name a few. Please help us become more comfortable and organized in our smaller classroom space by donating to our Totes and Shelving project. Your kindness will mean the world to us!
