I previously had a bulletin board border that I made with Velcro. It worked but not as durable as the curtain. The bookshelf is small enough to move quickly in front of the door to create a distraction if an intruder was ever able to open the door.

The calendar and schedule charts are also used daily and the students love having them as a resource. The reading game is also a huge hit and the kids love to play it!
