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
Over the last three years I've watched my current 8th graders strive for academic excellence. As this is their final year in middle school, I want to celebrate their academic efforts!
Urban students often face challenges and obstacles on their educational journey, such as limited resources and parental engagement, however our students have maintained a 2.0 and some a 3.0+ GPA!
By providing graduation cords to students, the school can recognize and celebrate their hard work, perseverance, and accomplishments in the face of adversity. The cords will serve as a tangible symbol of achievement and success, boosting students' confidence and motivation as they transition into high school.
