My Project

The cabinets in my classroom have never had any locks. Unfortunately, this has led to times where I've returned to my classroom after a break where someone has gone through the cabinets and taken valuable school supplies.

Even projects donated through this platform have been stolen in the past which has been heartbreaking.

With your help, we can use the locks to make this classroom secure so that students projects and materials stay safe year-over-year, and any future teacher in this space can have a sense of security that their materials will also be safe.

Mr. Carroll
Grades 9-12
