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

The 2023/2024 school year is drawing to a close and once again my scholars have blown through supplies. This Donors Choose is to restock the classroom for the upcoming 2024/2025 school year. On my list you will find general school supplies, as well as cleaning supplies, classroom decor, and other necessities for a supportive classroom environment.

Help me usher in the new school year with these supplies!

Everything on my list was selected with the intention of fostering a safe and nurturing environment within my classroom and with the goal of making the space one that students want to return to.

Please consider donating to this project! We can't start the school year without your help!

Ms. Holmes
Grades 6-8
