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

As we are winding down the school year and getting prepared for the next one. With your support we can ensure that our classrooms are equipped with the essential supplies needed for a successful start.

Your donation of basic beginning-of- year supplies such as pencils, wipes, erasers, crayons and glue sticks will directly enhance our students' learnings journey.

These seemingly simple items play a crucial role in fostering creativity, organization, and hands on engagement in the classroom. For instance, pencil and crayons can encourage artistic expression and collaboration on projects. BY providing these supplies, you are not only easing the financial burden on families but also creating an environment where every student has equal access to the tools they need to thrive academically.

As we embark on this new school year together, I invite you to be part of our mission to support student success. Your contribution, no matter the size, will make a meaningful difference in the lives of our students. Let's come together as a community to ensure that every child has the opportunity to reach their full potential.

Thank you for your generosity and commitment to education. Together, we can empower our students to achieve greatness.
