My Project

Black History Month is next month and we are already beginning our preparations! At our school we celebrate the melting pot of so many different ethnicities and cultures. In the community where our school reside the people are always talking about the importance of contributions and modeling for the Black Community, but in February we add emphasis to educate and take the time to celebrate, read, and write about Black Excellence. I would like to provide my students with reading, writing, and decor to enhance their program that I oversee.

Ms. Vallier Winchester Elementary School Grades 3-5

Celebrate Black teachers and kids! This project supports a Black teacher or a school where the majority of students are Black.
