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

All of my students live in a large city in Michigan and receive free lunch. All of my students come to me hungry for knowledge. Here, at our wonderful school, there is something for everyone. Even the parents like to engage in our learning opportunities.

My students don't like sitting around; they like to be engaged and to explore new things.

As their teacher, I would like to make available a wide variety of learning materials so they can engage and learn in a variety of ways. I also want to make sure they are well fed so they can concentrate on learning and not hunger pains.

My Project

Our wonderful school is in desperate need of a Samsung washer and dryer to help maintain health and cleanliness for our students. Many students live in the low income housing across the street and do not have access to laundry facilities. The nearest laundry mat is approximately three miles away. Having this new washer and dryer would allow us to clean coats, uniform shirts and pants and provide an emergency service if accidents occur. Funding this washer and dryer would increase self esteem, attendance, and general cleanliness of our students. Acquiring the Tide Pods, Gain, and Downy as well as the stain remover items will aid in getting the clothes clan and fresh. The bags and hampers will allow for organization. Your help with this project is essential to the success of our entire building.
