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

Recognizing the importance of hands-on learning experiences, this project proposes the establishment of an indoor garden as a means to engage students in sustainable practices and foster a deeper connection with nature.

My goal is to create a dynamic learning environment where students can engage in hands-on activities, explore plant biology, and develop a deeper appreciation for the natural world.

Through this project, I aim to foster environmental awareness, promote sustainable practices, and empower students to become stewards of the Earth.

Your generous donation of supplies such as plant pots, soil, seeds, and educational materials will play a vital role in cultivating our indoor garden and enriching the learning experiences of my students.

Together, we can inspire a new generation of environmental leaders who are equipped with the knowledge, skills, and passion to make a positive impact on our planet.

Thank you for considering my request, and I look forward to partnering with you on this exciting journey.

Mrs. S. Howard
Grades 9-12
