Almost every single one of them commented on how much neater and more organized the room looked. In reality, all I did was replace a dozen or so boxes with the clear bins you helped me purchase. But what a difference it makes! \r\n\r\nI want to apologize that I can't include students in the photos I'm going to attach. Current school policies require specific parent approval for any photos that leave the school domain with students in them. There wasn't time to secure this approval in time for this feedback, and I thought it was more important to let you know that you are making an impact!
