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

Our school serves as a vital hub for learning and school engagement, and we are committed to empower students to make positive changes for our planet. We will cover topics such as climate change and the importance of recycling. By offering accessible and engaging student opportunities, I hope to foster a deeper understanding of environmental issues and inspire action towards a more sustainable future.

Teachers also recognize the importance of practical initiatives to promote recycling within our school with hands on activities.

Therefore, part of the grant funds will be allocated towards the purchase of brooms and dustpans to be placed throughout our school. These brooms and dustpans will serve as visible reminders of the importance of waste reduction and will encourage students to recycle paper, plastic, and other recyclable materials.

We believe that this investment will have a lasting impact on our students by raising awareness, promoting environmental stewardship, and encouraging sustainable behavior change.
