Creating a Diverse Environment for Students with Disabilities (Black History)
Help me give my students with disabilities books about Black history fostering self-empowerment, and a sense of belonging and, snacks offer the nourishment and comfort that help our students stay focused and energized throughout the school day.
This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because
it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.
My Project
Dear Potential Donors,
I am reaching out with an exciting opportunity to make a lasting impact on the lives of our high school students with disabilities.
As educators, we understand how crucial it is to provide every student with an inclusive and enriching education, especially when it comes to celebrating the history and contributions of Black Americans. Unfortunately, many of our students don’t have access to books that reflect their diverse backgrounds or the historical figures who have shaped our nation. This gap in resources creates an important opportunity for us to fill.
We are requesting your support in funding books about Black history that will help our students connect with the rich cultural heritage and accomplishments that have shaped the world we live in today. These books will empower our students with knowledge, pride, and inspiration that they can carry with them throughout their academic and personal lives.
In addition, we also request funding for snacks that will help fuel our students throughout the school day. For many of our students, a snack can be a small but meaningful way to increase focus, energy, and overall well-being—enabling them to engage more fully in their studies and learning.
With your generous support, we will be able to provide these essential resources and make a profound difference in our students' education and lives. Every contribution, no matter the size, will bring us one step closer to ensuring that our students with disabilities have the tools they need to succeed and thrive.
Thank you for considering this important cause. Your kindness and generosity will help us build a brighter, more inclusive future for all students.
More than half of students from low‑income households
