Locker Mania!

halltalk_240.jpgHola chicas!

Isabel here. One of the best things about junior high is that you finally get your own locker! And it's so much more than just a place to store your stuff. At the beginning of every school year, I like to think of my empty locker as a blank canvas. Here are some easy decorating tips to make your locker look as artistically-inspired as mine:

Pick a theme. Are you into sports (like Avery), fashion (like Katani), stars (like Charlotte), or something else equally cool? Use decorations in your locker to go with your special interest! For example, I helped Charlotte cut out stars from silvery paper, and she used magnets to put them all over the inside of her locker. Instant night sky!

Put up pictures. If your school doesn't let you stick tape on your locker, you can use a corkboard with magnets on the back. (Definitely stay away from glue!) Include pictures of people, places, and maybe even pets who are special to you. Avery has the cutest pic of Marty in her locker!

Keep it tidy. No one will see your masterpiece if it's covered in clutter! I go through the pile of things in my locker once a week and throw away anything I don't need (like used gum wrappers—ewww!).

Love to decorate lockers? Play our locker mania game!


your turn ...
What are your tips for keeping your locker clean and smelling fresh?

Adios,

u should have these 3 rules!!!!
1. NEVER keep anything in your locker that will rot for more than 1 day!!!!
2. always keep a fragrance like a perfume that u like so u can spray it in your locker. (just in case anything smells!)
3. keep your locker organized! (ex. books go in the bottom, makeup middle and hair appliance and other trinkets go on top!)

i love my locker i go to a school majored i nthe arts ALL kind sof arts im into dancing and im in grade 7 but my school wants to express your self! so we get to paint inside and outsides of our lockers mines pink! and inside its black with gold stars and in each one i write the name of one of my favorite and famous dancers even tho i major in hip-hop i have ballerinas and stuff and it smells citrus beacause of this perfume i have has a hint of tangerine and theyres a big pic of the hip-hop crew!and my binders and books are in the order of my classes and an events callendre incase of a dance-off and one of my friends paintings that she madew for visuel arts but i buy my lunch ant the sushi stand! so i have a place or money and my ipod stays at the back in these speakers and how could i forget this light that turns onn when you open the locker! so my advice is just kep it cute and organized with a spray of your FAVE perfume!

I have a locker, I use a locker shelf to organize things. I put my books and school stuff on the top of my shelf, and my lunch and backpack at the bottom. smilies/smiley.gifI also have a mirror and a white board. If you need help decorating your locker, you should find something you are interested in,for example, If you like soccer, you could put soccer pix up. I am interested in ancient egypt and mummies, so I put up pix of Pyramids up. smilies/smiley.gif smilies/wink.gif smilies/kiss.gif

I am in 8th grade and thankfully this year I have a top locker. I love it. To keep it organized I have two locker shelves with my morning books on one and my afternoon books on the other. I have a thing on my locker door. It is a mirror, corkboard, and dry erase board all in one, its awesome. I write song lyrics or anything on the dry erase board, and tack memos to myself on the corkboard. Keep your locker nice and organized and you will be sure to get to class on time. smilies/cheesy.gif

At my school, there's a total of about 1600 kids, in 6th through 8th grade. So all of the lockers are about 8 inches wide & top to bottom , with one shelf at the top. My reccomendations for those kids who do have locker problems is to have a narrow organizer or white board, but you don't have to have one. They are fun! Try to organize your books and binders so they aren't jumbled around. If there are hooks for jackets & stuff, USE THEM! Try to use them to hang a bag with your gym clothes or your hat or jacket. Even a pencil case might work! Try to put the biggest, heaviest objects on bottom, lightest on top! Now I'm gonna stop, or else I may take up the whole page!
Just remember, once you organize, you can decorate!

My locker is soooo small, and I'm in junior high! My locker was way bigger when I was in 5th and 6th grade! I can hardly get a shelve in it and My dry erase board is in the back so I can't see it cuz I have to stuff all my books and back pack and my lunch box. I have noooo room in it at all. I don't have a lock on it because my schedule is so tight. I'll be late for art class, which is all the way on the other side of another building. It will be clean in about a week cuz I have to get all my books out and bring them home so I can do my work while i miss school to do the play! I'll decorate it then! Love the advice! smilies/smiley.gif smilies/smiley.gif smilies/tongue.gif smilies/kiss.gif

I don't have a locker yet but I still think these tips might hep:
1. Don't ever, ever put food, gum wrappers of candy in there.
2. Tidy it up when u r free(like during recess)
3. Arrange your books and stuff neatly inside. Put the important ones on top so that nothing will come tumbling when you want to take something out.
4. Don't pack too many things inside.
