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
It's my job to help students get through high school without turning to alcohol and drugs as a way of coping. I spend all day listening to kids and teaching them new skills.
Our students come from all over the city. Many travel hours to get to school. They work and study extremely hard to get and maintain good grades. Everyone's expectations of them are high. Stress is such a big part of their lives and many don't know how to manage their stress in a healthy way.
My Project
We know giving students outside interests is a great prevention tool. With a crochet hook and a skein of yarn, I can teach these students a way to manage stress, meditate, relax...and create things! My students will learn a craft they can use for many years to come. And a craft that they can use to help others by donating what they have made to various charities.
In a school with over 5,000 students, student government doesn't have the money to fund every club. And not being a big sports team, our club sometimes gets overlooked or underfunded. It would be great to be able to give each student their own hooks and yarn. They wouldn't have to worry about giving them back, or making mistakes with the yarn. And in the end, they'll learn way more that just how to double crochet, slip stitch and make granny squares.
