Now that I’ve seen this particular system through to the end, I can honestly say that I am really happy with it.
My daughter graduated high school last year and all her years of papers fit nicely into one file box along with some extra things like her piano note duotangs and a few special journals that she wanted to keep. I used 14 hanging file folders in mine so I had one folder for each grade beginning with Pre-K through to Grade 12. With the boxes I own, the ledge around the outside allows you to hang hanging file folders from it. You might want to look for them in your area. Two for $12.99 which is a super great deal. I also saw at Costco, just this past weekend here in Canada, these file boxes below that are currently available. You can also find them at stores like Staples as well as Walmart (sometimes). I use the Really Useful Boxes brand in the 19L file box size which you can find on Amazon HERE ( affiliate link) for less than $15 each. For privacy reasons, I’ve erased those names for this post. The front of each of my file boxes has a chalkboard label that I write each child’s name on. I didn’t like that so I switched to having one file box per kid and it has worked so amazingly well plus it’s easy to maintain which is always key to any organizational system. The memory binders worked well until I realized only four or five years would fit into one binder.
The reason I switched was simple, I wanted to fit all the school years into one container. At that time I used memory binders to keep things organized but a number of years ago I switched to the file box method instead. Seven years ago I shared on the blog my method for storing and organizing all those school papers that the kids bring home….everything from art and pictures in the younger days to award certificates and favorite essays in the later years.
