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

My goal for this project is to provide students with the materials needed to learn and grow daily. Students shouldn't have to be without supplies that can help them grow developmentally. With these supplies, students can focus on learning instead of materials they do not have. These materials will also add to our classroom environment by promoting positivity and providing a comfy environment where all students are valued.

What makes my students unique is their determination to learn and grow!

My students come to school ready to learn. They are very active within the classroom and take their learning seriously. Your donations to our classroom can help The Banks Ballers shine daily! Thank you!
