Black History Starts With Me!

Help me give my students materials to celebrate and experience Black History Month!

Ms. Hill Memorial Year - Round School

Cleveland, OH Grades 3-5

My Project

Black History Month is a wonderful time to learn about the history of Black Excellence. My students will be learning about the amazing inventions, backgrounds, and principles of their history. These materials will help teach my students and to also show them that black excellence starts with them.

Showing them that they can be anything they want or do anything they want is a bright message that they need to experience.

These materials such as the markers, colored pencils, and construction paper will create a joyous feeling for my students. They will be able to create projects to resemble themselves and show how they look.

Everyday my students are making history for themselves. Making sure that my students are aware of their history will help them understand their future!

This project will directly impact historically underfunded classrooms.
