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 class of 4th graders partners with a second grade class from a school with similar demographics. We ask the students to donate a pillow case which acts as the base for our "heart" pillows. Parents supply the needles and thread. Students from the 2 classes "Partner Up" to create an original pillow in the shape of a heart. These pillows are donated to patients that have undergone heart surgery. In addition to the medical needs, it also provides a welcome relief with its happy, colorful designs.

We are fortunate to have had the stuffing donated but the markers are costly and need to be replaced frequently. The program is highly valued by the hospital, as we serve a population that needs us. The students learn the act of giving without expecting anything in return.

Getting these permanent markers will ensure that our designs on the pillows will be bright and cheerful for the patients. The students will be able to see their designs and how they make a difference in the lives of people who need this service.

This project is a superb way for not only the two classes to get together and learn to accept the differences in their ages and backgrounds, but also to ensure that our service to the hospital will be of the highest quality we can possibly deliver.
