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

Literacy is the foundation of learning. As a support of literacy in history/social studies, I want to provide a classroom library. The challenge comes with finding materials that will foster excitement and engagement in middle school students.

I want to quench the thirst for knowledge in my students by providing them with a diverse variety of reading materials.

It is my intention to stock our library with classical literature, modern best sellers, and inspirational books. I'll also be making my personal history texts available for research and further exploration for my students.

With your generosity, I will be able to give my students the opportunity to become world explorers and travelers through the eyes of literature. I teach in a Title I school, and many students come from underserved areas of the community. If the future is in my classroom today, then I want to inspire and cultivate their greatness by unlocking the world to them through a book.
