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 Project

What I love about my students is their desire to learn and try new things. We are a close knit community with school pride. Many of my students have struggles and challenges on a daily basis. I want to provide an environment that is safe, educational, and fun. These materials will have a monumental impact on my students. I am trying to create an good old fashioned field day. Our students spend too much time on electronics, and need to exercise. The outdoor kits will be used for our field day games. The line marker and paint will be used for lanes and outside gym play. The sanitizer and soap will be used for students to wash their hands and not spreading germs.

With your help, my students will be able to have a fantastic field day and physical education class for the rest of the year.
