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

My school is a Title I school, with most of my students living in poverty. My students are loving and hardworking, yet unfortunately, they face many challenges both in and out of the classroom. I'm inspired by my students as they show great perseverance no matter the challenges they face. They come to school ready to take in the day's educational adventures. Because most of my students come from low-income families, the majority of the items (ranging from basic school supplies to books to facial tissues and more) are supplied by me.

Many of my students have never been to a structured environment setting before, so I'm excited to provide them with the most fun and warm learning environment that I can.

My Project

Students at our school come from low-income families so they are not able to afford basic school supplies. Most of the supplies are provided by the teacher. I want to give my students the supplies and resources they deserve to be successful at school.

My class would benefit from each having a set of headphones that will be used daily for our i-Ready reading and math instructional minutes.

I am unable to ask for headphones as part of our supply list and our school does not provide them. I want to be able to give my students a nice pair of headphones that will last them the whole school year. Having headphones will minimize noise and distractions and allow students to perform their best on our i-Ready reading and math diagnostic assessments.

My students are kind, loving, and truly want to do well in school. Money should not stand in the way of a child being able to learn at the highest level. The resources I am requesting will help our classroom thrive. I am also requesting basic supplies such as expo markers for our whiteboards, name tags, and crayons so they have fresh supplies when they come back from winter break. Your donations will benefit the most loving students! I appreciate your consideration in donating to my requests!
