My Project

Every year I just love meeting a new group of students and collecting all the school supplies. However, a couple weeks into the new school year the students' desks are busting at the seams with all the books and school supplies in them. These over the chair organizers will help to free up space in the desks while continuing to allow students easy access to their material and supplies. They will also help students not to cram everything inside their desks helping with organization. This extra storage would be amazing for the students to have! Also pencils seem to disappear throughout the day. So having a pencil basket on their desk would be very convenient.
