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

Have you ever had a time where you were bullied in school for being different? Has it ever affected your education so much that you stopped coming to school? For a majority of the students here, they could answer yes to both of these questions. Our school is their last chance to get an education.

Our students all share one thing: they were bullied for being different.

Around half of the school identifies as LGBTQ and the rest of them were bullied for being overweight, being the wrong religion, being too skinny, too goth, or anything else. Here, students are accepted for who they are and they are allowed to express themselves how they choose. If they want to wear a dress and heels today and baggy shorts and a t-shirt tomorrow they can. Because students are able to express themselves and feel belonging, students are able to learn and succeed in the classroom. A lot of work is done with students on creating a strong school culture that includes a no bullying policy. Restorative justice circles and methods for dealing with conflict are taught and used throughout the day to give students tools to create a culture where they will be successful. Everyone works hard to create a culture where students respect each other and their beliefs.

My Project

I am asking for a document camera. It will be used in every class to project information for the class whether it is notes, a guided project, or a live dissection. I will be able to give examples using the document camera and students will be able to follow along.

Your donation will allow students to access information in science.

By donating to this project, you will also help students find success in a place that works hard to create a culture for learning.
