Book Bag Storage

Last year, I had my dad build these cubbies for me.  I had little bitty cubbies my first two years, and the kids stuff was always all over the floor simply because they couldn't fit it all into the cubby!  I saw these cubbies in Lakeshore.  However, for a set of 10, they were $600.  I needed two sets, which meant $1200.  No thanks! So my wonderful dad and a friend of his built these for me.  They are wonderful!  They have a big enough cubby for their backpacks and lunch boxes.  They have hooks in the back to hang their jackets on.  They also have a slot for a  basket which we use as a mailbox.  I realize these are not the quickest solution to a book bag storage problem, however, if you can find someone to build them, they will last forever!  We have a prison work center close to us here (scary I know!) and they will build things for you too for a reasonable price.  You might want to check your areas and see if there is something similar.  The teacher before me had a bunch of bookshelves built by them.  :-)  Happy Summer!
