You've Got Mail!

Help me give my students a mailbox to sort all their class work. This will make such a big difference for my scholars. It helps keep their work organized, and also easier to stuff folders.

My Project

Having a sturdy mailbox will make keeping up with their work so much easier for my 20 students. This not only keeps things organized and easily accessible, but it also looks so much nicer than other mailbox storage options.

The system we are using right now just isn't very efficient for Kindergarten friends.

They need to clearly see the separation and with this particular mailbox system, they will be able to access their work so much better.

We have amazing parent volunteers come and stuff our folders each week. This mailbox will also help volunteers be able to stuff folders more quickly and efficiently.
