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

My students are amazing. They are inquisitive, creative, and eager to learn. They meet their many challenges head-on and are willing to put forth the effort to learn whatever they are being taught.

Our school is ethnically diverse with over twenty-one different nations represented.

Most come to school without the absolute basic items: pens, pencils, and paper.

Despite their diverse abilities, our classroom is positive and cheerful, filled with learning and sharing. Please help us even the field and give us access to the technology that will greatly increase our success.

My Project

With the onset of COVID 19 our electronic devices, especially our Chromebooks are very mobile. They travel back and forth from home to school in our hands, backpacks and other things not created for their safety. We are in need of appropriate cases designed to protect our precious electronics and our bridge to online classes and assignments. The use of these electronic devices have become essential for us to remain in contact with our school, teachers, assignments and information we need to be successful students in our new normal.
