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 wonderful students need markers and paper to complete their classroom projects which they love to do. My students are often very busy in the classroom. We are often running out of paper and markers. At times, not having these supplies discourages students from moving forward. We are asking for markers to use on our boards to make math more exciting. We also need paper to use as scratch paper during our testing.

Your generous donation to our project will improve our classroom by helping students have the necessary tools to be successful.

We need toner and a new drum to make enough copies so that each student has a sheet. Of course, we need tissue. With the weather changing noses are really running.

This will make an impact on my students' lives for the better. Every day they will be prepared for class and learning.
