Adjustable shelves Adjustable shelves Organizing your School Locker • Adjustable shelves will utilize the vertical space and help your child organize and find his/her school books easier. • Magnetic hooks • Magnetic bins These small bins attach to the door of lockers. They are great little baskets for small items such as pens, pencils, lip gloss, gloves, etc. • Mirrors Many places carry magnetic mirrors that adhere to the back of locker doors. • Magnetic Message Boards Small magnetic message boards are great for reminders about homework and project deadlines, prom night, etc. • Laminate Try laminating your class and sports schedules.
