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

As we approach the end of another academic school year, I am reaching out with a caring request for support in providing my students with basic school supplies. I am committed to providing the best educational experience for my students, and I believe every child deserves access to basic school supplies to help grow their fine motor skills and enhance their learning journey.

Unfortunately, providing these necessary supplies to every student in my classroom is a challenge.

Supplies are limited, making it difficult for every student to learn and actively participate during the school day. This is where your generosity can make a big impact. I am seeking donations to purchase necessary student school supplies such as glue, crayons, markers, paint, Play-Doh, and pencils.

Your contribution will directly benefit the students who need these basic resources. By supporting this cause, you are investing in the future of developing creative children and helping them reach their full potential.

Thank you for considering this request. I hope together we can set my students up with a well-supplied classroom. I know this will make a lasting impact on the lives of these young learners.
