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
My middle schoolers are all from low income households that can not always afford the necessary supplies students need. Any help I can give to our most struggling families and students will help tremendously.
These backpacks will allow me to provide a few of my most needy students with backpacks to begin the new year.
These backpacks will give them confidence to walk in the halls and not be talked about for having an old torn and raggedy bookbag.
Everyone wants to start a new school year off with confidence and joy.
