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

Hi!

I am trying to provide my dance students for next year the ballet basics they will need for dance class!

Leotards, tights and shoes are essential to class, and I would like to provide those essentials for my students. These items will be kept so that future student can enjoy them too! Some of my dance classes are as large as 20 students, so that is why I am asking for quantities of 20! Any contribution is appreciated and will give my students the quality dance uniforms. Thank you to all that contribute!

Ms. Cottle
Grades 9-12
