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 Students

Our school has some of the spunkiest kids in DC. They are funny, smart, resilient and tough. I teach 6th and 7th grade and they enlighten me every single day. A DCPS RISE school, my students persevere through obstacles to achieve social and academic goals each day.

My Project

I am so proud of my students. They are the epitome of resilience, and this is not an exaggeration. Not only is our school a DC RISE school where all students receive free and reduced meals, but they also continue to inspire me by making academic learning gains despite the continuous disruptions of the pandemic! Our 6th and 7th graders are continuing to make it happen. We would love more books and writing materials to keep assisting us in our upward trajectory. Even in the internet age, paper books help us to engage with a plot a little better.
