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
Our school is a safe haven, a place where kids can work toward a common goal. Our students need somewhere safe to be, a place off of the tough, local streets. Kids learn commitment, teamwork, and pride, as well as academic skills.
I am the 7-12 chorus teacher, as well as the assistant marching band director and the k-12 gifted teacher.
Our students are vibrant and love to be the center of attention. All of the students in our school receive free breakfast and lunch, and there are after-school activities that serve extra meals so kids don't go hungry.
However, our budget is non-existent. Our building is old and hasn't been updated much since it was originally built in the early 1900s. Sounds like a great place for modern learners, right?
My Project
I have 26 excited kids in my brand new show choir class. They're so excited to be on stage and performing. This class is new this year and we already have 26 kids signed up, I can only imagine how it's going to grow.
I am asking for black button down shirts for my concert.
We need to differentiate ourselves from the chorus, so black button downs will be a great to keep a uniform concert dress and have it still be exciting. I need multiple sizes to dress all of my kids, so this project is going to be split into a few different projects in order to keep costs down.
