Black History Month Will Be Amazing With Your Help

Help me give my students a tapestry and other decorations help to set the background for the black history month program.

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Josephs's classroom raised $372

This project is fully funded

Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

Celebrate Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.

My Project

Our students are performing for black history month. We would like to showcase our talents in a beautiful way. We are learning about our heritage and want to share it with others.

These materials will help our students to give a great performance and give them a sense of pride in their hard work.

We hope that these materials will spark an interest in our history and a quest for more knowledge.

The wall tapestry will serve as our backdrop to be used during the black history month performances. The little known black history facts book will help us to give our students fun activities to do during the month and a chance to win prizes. The bracelets will be given to students that attend the performance
