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

At our school, my next goal is to establish a poster-making station for our students. Often, our students lack the necessary materials and space to fully express their creativity and complete projects for their classes. With your help, we aim to provide them with the resources they need, including posters, colored paper, markers, and other supplies, to create visually engaging and informative projects. This initiative will not only enhance their academic experience but also foster their artistic expression and confidence.

Our goal is to create a welcoming and inclusive environment where every student feels empowered to unleash their creativity.

By having access to a designated poster-making station, our students will have the opportunity to express themselves freely and develop their artistic skills. Additionally, we plan to incorporate painting options to further encourage self-expression and exploration of different mediums. Your contribution, no matter the size, will make a significant difference in our students' educational journey and allow them to showcase their talents in meaningful ways. Thank you for considering our project, and we sincerely hope you'll join us in supporting our students' artistic endeavors.

Ms. Lucas
Grades 9-12
