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

This school year our students will have an opportunity to participate in a ton of learning programs and activities that will assist them with learning. We know that this year was especially tough on our students so we are working hard to fill in the gaps that occurred due to distance learning and COVID-19. We plan to begin this program a week after school begins so we need supplies quickly.

COVID cannot stop a student that wants to learn.

Thanks to supports and donors like you I will be able to have a fresh and new homework folders with a pencil pouch for each student in the third grade. My plan is to put pencils and a pen in the pouch so students can do their homework at home without having to look of supplies. Thank you for your support.
