Black History

Help me give my students amazing items that will help to support our black history program.

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Gardner's classroom raised $248

My Project

I would like to get a variety of materials to educate my students about Black History Month and costumes to help with our black history program. This includes new books, t-shirts, a costume for Ruby Bridges, new shirts, and decorations. We want to make this a celebration as well as a learning experience.

Working with a majority population of students makes it imperative that we educate our kids about their own history.

It is also extremely important to ensure that what they're taught is shown from various perspectives. I would love for my students to go home and talk about the lessons learned so that their families can continue the conversation.
