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

With your help the following books will make a difference in the lives of over 740 students. We will be getting a book vending machine at our school and these books will help to fill it for our students. What I love the most is that we are providing our students with access to new literature that will help build their reading skills and love for a variety of books. What I love about our school is our students excitement for new books and our staffs drive to help students have access to books at school and home.
