Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

Celebrate Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.

My Project

Help! Our music binder shelf is in total disarray. Students need these cool binder racks to keep every folder/binder upright, in place and organized. Right now, since students don't have shelf dividers, and the binders fall all over the place.

The wire record racks will hold all the students' music binders in place and be a great addition to our classroom organization.

Every day a students loses their binder in the mess.

I've been organizing and fixing this bookshelf every day, all year long, and it has really been distressing me! I think I've finally found the solution. I've fixed about every aspect of our new piano classroom except the binder shelves. These wire racks will solve our last problem for good. I can't wait for someone to come through and fund this simple yet practical project!
