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
I teach middle and high school band in a high-needs community. The school district is very small and in an urban setting. Our students all receive free lunch and breakfast. Even though the school and community have financial difficulties, my students come to school eager and ready to learn. The financial hardships do not interfere with their desire to learn and be the best they can be.
I am very fortunate to teach in a district where the students want to excel and work very hard.
My Project
My marching band students have been given the opportunity of a lifetime. They have been selected to perform in Walt Disney World. My marching band will travel to Florida in November and march in the Magic Kingdom's afternoon parade. Needless to say they are super excited!
My students need matching Disney t-shirts to wear on our band trip.
We have 48 students traveling and we want an easy way to identify them as a part of our group. The matching shirts will identify them as a part of our group and help chaperones keep everyone together. Thank you for helping us add the final touches to make our trip a success.
