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.

My Students

"The beautiful thing about learning is that no one can take it away from you." - B.B. King This quote is related to this project because making a way for students to have access to different activities in life helps to make them well-rounded citizens for our future.

We have a diverse community with over 20 different countries closely knit together into a larger community.

We work hard to help our students succeed. Our administration, teachers, staff and volunteers work together to achieve our goal of "placing and keeping children first in all we do."

My Project

In the fall, our fourth grade students had the opportunity to take 10 swimming lessons at a nearby city pool as part of the physical education curriculum. It was such an exciting time of learning and fun. The challenge we faced, however, was transportation, which resulted in several logistical obstacles for our staff.

We have an opportunity to provide our fifth grade students with 10 swimming lessons during the spring.

We would like to alleviate our transportation challenge by using a school bus; however, we don’t have the funding for this. We would appreciate your support and partnership in providing the funds to cover transportation for these spring lessons. This will allow more of our students an opportunity to learn in a new environment. Thank you in advance for your partnership!
