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

Working as a school social worker, I've been trying to find resources to help my students deal with life's ills. My students have the potential of a mustard seed. These materials I chose for this project will be used with my students in counseling sessions and classroom lessons. These books, materials will help my students develop relationship-building, interpersonal effectiveness, and effective communication skills which is our social-emotional goal of the year.

By donating to this project you will help provide resources for students who are looking for guidance and endearment.

With your help, I will create a calming office space that offers comfortable and warm environment using calming color pillows, books, snacks, and toner (to print worksheets and posters). My students are always progressing, help us keep up their progress.

Grades 6-8
