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

The school I teach at is a Title I-funded school, and the majority of our families are considered low-income. These supplies help take the burden of purchasing new supplies off of the families and make it so all students have exactly the same supplies to use each day. These materials will help my students be successful at completing tasks and learning at school.

I work with a diverse population of students with varying needs and benefit from interactive lessons and materials.

The supplies that are being requested include loose-leaf paper, fun and colorful dry erase markers, durable plastic three prong folders, and classroom set of Crayola Markers. All of these items will be used during interactive lessons in the classroom. Using different colors helps students break up problems or readings, so they can focus on specific questions and details in class.

Ms. Polomsky will only receive her materials if this project is fully funded by August 31.
