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

Help us celebrate African American figures in the performing arts. We are collaborating to help students celebrate the many African Americans who have contributed to theater, dance, and all art forms over the years. Students will be singing various songs, reading poetry, and performing variations of dance works by Alvin Ailey to celebrate African American history. In order to help bring the performance to the next level, the students will need a variety of props and decorations to help their performances come alive. These donations will help them do that.
