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

Located in beautiful Crown Heights, Brooklyn New York, my school is the second home for over 160 amazing individuals! My scholars enjoy reading books of different genres and writing daily. Having access to basic academic resources is a challenge for most of my students and my wish is for them to have everything they need to be successful middle school students.

My Project

These books will make a difference in my students' learning as I continue to enhance the diverse classroom that I strive to create. My classroom is a place where my students really enjoy reading and writing. My students will benefit by having their own books to read and analyze. They will provide great academic support for them to enhance their learning, both at school and at home.

I will have a more equitable classroom with all my students having their own text, without the pressure of depending on their parents or guardians to provide it for them.
