My Project

Lockers are needed in the classroom to ensure belongings are kept in a safe area, away from food. This ensures that food and personal items are separate from the cooking area. My students are so very special because they choose to come to school each day despite their environment at home. Students will put their chef coats and backpacks in the lockers to maintain the maximum amount of space in the classroom. Help us keep our classroom organized and efficient! We’re requesting lockers to provide students with a secure space for their belongings, reducing clutter and fostering responsibility. These lockers will create a more focused learning environment where students can thrive. Your support will make a lasting impact on our students’ success!
