Celebrate Black Teachers and Students

This project is part of the Black History Month celebration because it supports a Black teacher or a school where the majority of the students are Black.

I am a first grade teacher working in a low economic area. Almost all of my children receive free lunch. Each day they are expected to learn new things, and reach higher goals. Sometimes that is difficult when we don't have the basic supplies.

It has always been difficult to get supplies in our school, especially now with all the budget cuts. Many of the children come to school without a pencil, and if they do have one, it is always broken. Also, paper is hard to get our hands on. Especially with the younger students, copies are needed to make practice work sheets, send home reminders or used for their writing on the computer.

I am asking for simple supplies like paper, pencils, and a sharpener, so if their pencil does break, they can sharpen it. Also I would like my children to have access a reading log to keep track and write about all their favorite books they read. Notebooks are needed, because many children are not able to replace their books.

Your donation will provide my students with the supplies they need to do everyday tasks. You'll make it possible for the children to complete their work without any obstacles. Thank you in advance for all your support.
