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

Limited budgets are increasingly common, which often causes the elimination of essential programs. Unfortunately, our children are the ones who suffer the most from these essential cuts.

We cannot compromise on the well-being and future of our children.

They must have access to the essentials they require to succeed. We intend to use the color paper to provide information and create hands-on activities to improve students' creative thinking abilities.

With your assistance, our scholars are well on their way to engaging lessons focused on inquiry. They will develop the skills necessary for global citizenship.

Ms. Nakou
Grades 6-8
