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

This project is very simple; students will have access to quality, complete sets of markers and colored pencils. Yes, students can get supplies for $1.00, but are they really quality supplies. Everyone deserves to use quality things and budget markers and colored pencils look, feel and work like budget supplies. With your help, I will be able to supply my classroom with full sets of color markers and colored pencils.

Many students' families lack the extra funds to purchase supplies, especially good supplies.

All my students will be able to use quality, brand name materials to complete their work and enhance their creativity by having more than one type of brown to work with. There are so many colors in the world, why must I restrict my students to twelve colors. You have opened the world of colors for my students, by your support.
