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
Every child that enters the doors of my school is special. They are made to feel safe, loved, and valued. Our school is known as "the best kept secret" in the city because we truly love our students and reach out to create relationships with families that last far beyond the years spent in elementary school. Our faculty and staff is a family, and that family atmosphere spills over into each and every classroom.
Students in my school represent a very diverse population, including a very large population of special education students.
Being a Title I school, every student receives free breakfast and lunch. The support we provide our students is incredible, and the growth they attain each year is unbelievable. We truly love our students and believe that they can be successful in their own way.
My Project
Our students come to school each day eager to learn new things. However, they don’t always come to school feeling confident in the way they look.
Sometimes, students do not have uniforms that fit and are clean to wear to school.
Our uniform bank helps provide clean clothes that align with our school uniform policy for these students to wear. We want every student to feel confident in who they are so that they can learn without any outside distraction. Helping us keep our students in clean uniform clothes like shorts and polo shirts that fit really affects their confidence and ability to perform well in class.
