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

Since our walls are made of aluminum, anything magnetic can cling to them. Currently, I use magnets to hang up student work but it ultimately gets destroyed with students walking past and bumping into the papers so much. However, obtaining the magnetic paper holders would protect student work from getting crushed!

Help me have more than a shred of hope for our papers that are hung up in the classroom!

In addition to the magnetic folders, we need a paper tray organizer for storage and dry-erase cleaner for the white boards. I will be using the paper clips to give to students to color code their work. We also need bathroom passes as our class ones keep getting destroyed or lost.

Grades 9-12
