My Students

I treat my students as if they are scholars. It is my hope that when they leave my classroom they will learn the importance of doing good for others. I teach my students to strive for excellence and to achieve nothing less. In order to be all of these things, they need an organized environment.

With a backpack cart, my students will be able to take pride in learning how to be organized.

Research shows that students need to be taught organizational skills in order to be successful. I also want to teach my students that they need to have pride in where they work and to learn how to keep their classroom clean and organized.

My Project

Once my students review the backpack cart, they will be able to have a simple and easy morning routine. Students will be able to enter the class, place their backpacks on the cart, and start their day simply and smoothly. The cart will also students to keep their backpacks clean and organized. This will be especially helpful when it rains as we can move the cart right inside the classroom.

With your donation, my students will learn the importance of paying it forward.

They will begin to learn that helping others is the key to helping make the world go 'round. Again thank you for considering donating to our project!
