Celebrating Black History Month

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

This year, despite the ending of the pandemic, our school suffered from budget cuts which has allowed very little leeway to purchase necessary items for the new year.

Unfortunately, teachers have to pay out of pocket for most expenses.

However, preserved animals for dissections is one that most cannot do. With four children learning about one pig together, not only is camaraderie built, but it's slightly gross and exciting every year!

It would be a great blessing to me, the teacher, and our students to experience this year after year! Thank you for your contributions.

Ms. Toomer
Grades 9-12
