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

At our Schools our mission is to educate students with autism and other neurodiversities using evidence-based strategies grounded in the principles of Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA). At AZACS Students will be empowered to reach their full potential in motivating, compassionate environments using individualized programs so that every child gains the skills to integrate into the community and become a fulfilled, productive citizen.

AZACS is a Title I school and has a very diverse community.

Diversity not only complements our organizational values of teamwork, leadership, empowerment, and service quality, but also encompasses the way we work, the work environment, and respect for all people and their ideas.

Students do not always have access to items they need to be successful in school and we would like to stand in the gap for those items, by providing students with items that target the 5 basic needs.

Goal: To target pieces of the 5 basic needs of humans

Physiological: food and water

Safety: security of resources

Love/Belonging: family and friendship

Esteem: self-esteem and confidence

Self-actualization: creativity and lack of prejudice

Ms. Carla Smith will only receive her materials if this project is fully funded by August 22.
