When first graders at Grant Elementary School in Kenosha, Wisconsin, came back from spring recess, they got the surprise of a lifetime. Their 100-year-old classroom had been completely transformed, thanks to Staples Business’s first-ever Classroom Makeover Giveaway — a $110,000+ renovation!
The once outdated, under-resourced space is now a modern, bright classroom packed with state-of-the-art tools and furniture designed to make learning fun and engaging. But this makeover is about more than just desks, whiteboards and supplies — it’s about showing teachers and students that they truly matter.
Here’s how Staples Business turned this vision into reality and what it means for the Grant Elementary community.
