My Project

Our classroom is buzzing with excitement as we integrate life skills into our daily lessons. From running a classroom store to fostering a love for reading with our new library books, our students are learning responsibility, organization, and teamwork. However, we face a challenge—keeping our supplies safe, our food items pest-free, and our classroom space neat and functional.

With your support, we aim to acquire secure, lockable storage cabinets to hold our classroom store supplies and food items.

These cabinets will ensure our materials are well-organized and our food remains safely stored, minimizing the risk of pests. By creating a clutter-free, secure environment, we can focus on what truly matters: helping our students grow.

An organized classroom teaches more than just academics—it helps students develop crucial life skills, such as responsibility, decision-making, and financial literacy. By learning to run a classroom store and care for their environment, our students gain hands-on experience that will serve them far beyond the classroom walls.
