Big Box Storage Presents the March Teacher of the Month!

A big congratulations to Ms. Honig from Knox Middle School in San Diego! We’re excited to name you the Big Box Storage Teacher of the Month. Your dedication to ensuring every student has the tools they need, including something as basic as a pencil, is truly impressive. We’re grateful for your commitment to helping the next generation of learners.

From the Teacher:

“I believe that students learn best when they can experience things hands-on, especially in math. This approach works well for students from all backgrounds because it focuses more on collaboration and less on just talking or writing. To make this happen, I need creative supplies and inspiring decorations for my classroom, which currently lacks these essentials.

One ongoing challenge I face is providing pencils for my students. It’s a struggle many teachers know all too well. I used to question whether I should buy them or not, but it’s clear that students without pencils can’t practice or take notes effectively.

I found a poem by Joshua T. Dickerson that really put things into perspective for me:

‘Cause I ain’t got a pencil.

I woke myself up

Because we ain’t got an alarm clock

Dug in the dirty clothes basket,

Cause ain’t nobody washed my uniform

Brushed my hair and teeth in the dark,

Cause the lights ain’t on

Even got my baby sister ready

Cause my mama wasn’t home.

Got us both to school on time,

To eat us a good breakfast.

Then when I got to class the teacher fussed

Cause I ain’t got a pencil.’

This poem highlights the everyday struggles some students face and reminds us of the importance of having basic supplies. Your support would help ensure that every student has the pencils and materials they need to succeed in math and beyond.”

We’re excited to help you provide these essential supplies and make your classroom a more inspiring place to learn. Your dedication to your students and your proactive approach are truly admirable. We hope the pencils and supplies will help with assignments and tests and inspire a lifelong love of learning.

We’d also love to feature your students’ work on our social media to celebrate their achievements. Thank you for everything you do!
