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
My students are predominantly African-American and Latino. Virtually all of the students at my school qualify for free lunch. Many students enter our school multiple grade levels behind in literacy and math. However, my students are tremendously intelligent, and they are passionate about the arts.
Because my school has a music and art theme, many of my students are singers, dancers, or musicians.
Each of my students has a unique voice, and they are incredibly brave about taking positive risks for the sake of personal expression.
My Project
I truly believe that students learn best in a comfortable and clean environment. In the interest of keeping my students in the most optimal condition for learning, I am requesting tissues, hand sanitizer, and snacks.
Particularly during the winter months, students often have colds and need to frequently use the bathroom to get tissue; having a class supply of tissue paper will help ameliorate these disruptions.
In addition, students often arrive to my class both tired and hungry. I am hoping that having snacks on hand will help my students to be able to focus more on their learning. Please consider donating to enhance the educational experience of some very deserving students.
