How to Organize Your School Locker
If you're one of the lucky students whose school has not outlawed
lockers (and who doesn't have to carry around a day's worth of books
in an overstuffed backpack), then check out these tips for making your
locker your home away from homeroom.
Instructions

-
1
Install a shelf in your locker to double the horizontal storage space. You can find a variety of locker shelves and accessories online at stores such as Lockermate.com, StacksAndStacks.com and PotteryBarnTeen.com.
-
2
Stand your books upright (not stacked) with their spines out to see the titles and grab the book you need quickly.
-
-
3
Use a notebook or binder (or section) for each class. Color-code these binders with notebooks and book covers so that everything related to a particular class is the same color.
-
4
Save space and keep everything accessible by adding mirrors, pencil cups, clocks and picture frames. Many have magnetic attachments.
-
5
Carry your valuables--cash, laptop computers, digital cameras or MP3 players--with you; don't put them in your school locker. Better yet, leave them at home.

Tips & Warnings
Before you shop for a school backpack, measure the width of your locker. It's extra handy to get a backpack or rolling bag that fits right into your locker--even when crammed with books.
Empty your trash and recycling, and remove unneeded items at least once a week. Make sure you're not creating science experiments out of banana peels and sweaty gym clothes in the locker's nether regions.

Try to make your locker fun by getting cool magnets.For example get one from a place you've been to. Also glow in the dark stars are fun. They look really cool,and arn't that expensive -
