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

We need some basic classroom supplies to start next year off right! Please help us start the year with classroom essentials like paper towels, Kleenex, pencils, whiteboards, whiteboard markers and more. These supplies are essential for day to day life within a classroom. At our school of excellence, many of the students do not have access to basic school supplies. This project will help meet the needs of our students and also provide students with materials that can help motivate, support or encourage them like stickers, snacks and headphones.

The supplies in this project will provide our students with the necessities they need everyday in order to succeed.

They will be able to partake in exciting activities, hands-on learning, and everyday comfort while in class. Basic supplies are important and fundamental for the function of a classroom. By having these supplies, we are ensuring the success of our students.
