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

I am requesting a Flex-Space Collaborative Floor Work Space Bundle. My students have no library. I am trying to change that! While I build a library from the ground up, the students will need comfy spaces to sit at and enjoy reading their new books. In addition, they will need tables to work at.

The Flex-Space Collaborative Floor Work Space Bundle has seating and tables that will allow my students to enjoy the area in many ways.

The students will be able to come to the library as a safe alternative to their classroom. Students can come and learn that books can be read not only as a part of their schoolwork but for pleasure as well.
