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

Our Senior students will be graduating this May 2023. They are a very talented, creative and forward thinking group of young people, who are determined to go to college to further their education so that they can realize the careers of their dreams. These students are trailblazers, which is evident in the amazing Social Justice Projects they are presenting as part of their graduation requirement. Most of our seniors will be first generation college students.

Over 95% of our graduating class are from minority, low-income, and underserved communities, with 100% qualification for free lunch.

This Social Justice Completion reward package will help these students to offset the cost of basic needed college dormitory items(bed sheets, blankets, shower caddy, personal care items...) and school resources (study lamps, note books, pens, pencils, computer accessories etc.).

The Social Justice project is a research study that demands a critical observation of a current Social Justice challenge, research its root, devise and implement a treatment plan then analyze and report findings via panel presentations. This reward package will be a big boost to their confidence and preparedness for entering college for the first time. We will be letting them know we believe in them, and are confident in their abilities to pursue and realize a successful future for themselves, their families, their communities and country.

These items will be apart of a "Social Justice reward Package for each of our graduating Senior.

Thank you for your contribution to the future success of our 2023 Graduates.
