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

Bulletin boards are a major means of communicating with my student community. I change my bulletin each month of the school year to reflect the current theme. This project will cover the school year's worth of bulletin boards, providing me bulletin paper and bulletin borders. There is black history border that will be used with the black paper. And a Mexican themed border to be used with the red paper for Hispanic Heritage Month. I will be using the pink border and white paper during Women's History paper. And the remaining materials will be used to promote Career Development Month, High School Application Seasons and Registration Seasons. The laser leveler will help ease putting the boards together buy providing a visible guideline to help place the decorations neatly. These supplies will ensure I can create engaging and attractive bulletin boards.
