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 Students

Our school is located in the heart of Jefferson County, Mississippi. Our town has no industry and very few employment opportunities. My students live in a poverty-stricken area and 100% of them qualify for free lunch. More than three fourths of them live in poverty. Twenty-five percent of students are at risk of dropping out of school before they complete high school. These precious children need to learn the basic skills they need to be productive members of society. Job opportunities are very limited in this area and parents struggle to provide basic needs.

Help my students thrive!

These students deserve an education. They desperately need a learning environment in which they can succeed. Help me provide them with a positive learning experience.

My Project

My students need comfortable seating to improve learning conditions in our classroom. These bean bags will be a great asset to my young learners.

Students will love sitting on these bean bag seats while practicing skills on their iPads.

I have several students that need flexible seating to improve their ability to pay attention to task. Students will enjoy engaging activities in the comfort of a bean bag seat rather than in a straight chair. Classroom settings are changing from straight rows with straight chairs to learning centers, group activities, and flexible seating. Please, help my students enjoy a relaxed learning environment.
