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

I am a new Art Education teacher at the school. The school has one hundred and eighty students and is almost one hundred poercent African American.

I am looking forward to meeting my students this coming school year.

I wish to offer them the most I can, in a multitude of mediums. My goal as a teacher is to offer new and great experiences to students while also teaching them to appropriately express themselves. The community has a low family income rate, so I am hoping this helps to keep from financially burdening any student.

My Project

These materials are essential for the Art education classroom and would help to relieve financial stress from my students. These supplies would go far in the classroom and open a variety of possibilities for successful pieces. There will be assignments to help in the local community.

Helping my classes, you, as a donor, will be assisting students to learn how to appropriately express themselves and become more well-rounded individuals.

You will be helping students have new opportunities and make new discoveries in both identity and artistic craft. As a starting teacher, your help and kindness would be greatly appreciated.
