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

We are trying to reach out to our families with a virtual family paint night. This activity will enhance quality family time. Give someone a canvas and they can paint the world with kindness. Painting helps boost self confidence, which makes people feel positive.

My Project

Painting at home will allow our students to become more creative and have an escape from online learning. Our families live in high poverty areas and attend school on a daily basis.

Since we are not able to attend large gatherings for family nights at our school, I would love to accommodate our students at home.

My project would benefit the whole family with the art supplies I have asked for; paints, brushes, and canvasses.

Family engagement is the key to our students' success! Students will be able to share their paintings with their teachers, classmates, and others. This painting will be the rainbow in someone's cloud.
