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

It is hard to imagine, but the end of the school year is approaching. It is a bittersweet moment for us 5th grade teachers. We have watched some of our students grow and learn from kindergarten to 5th grade! Please help us give them the rewards of some fun items for our formal dinner party. This will give the student rewards for an awesome time in elementary school, like glasses and decorations to make the reward exciting and extra special. This will help with their transition of moving to a new school. We are ready to see them soar, but sad they are leaving us. Please help us give them a last dance to remember before they leave the nest and explore their next journey... Middle School! The students voted and wanted a dinner party with an awesome photo booth to create loss of memories.
