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
Hello!
I teach music at a Title IX school, and it can often be hard to find money in the budget for everything we need. My challenge this year has been seating. My students are currently in outdated metal folding chairs that easily fall over, fold up, and catch students' hands inside them. They need to be replaced with seating that is comfortable and made for children.
As a teacher who sees every student in my school twice a week, this purchase will benefit all of our students. Comfortable seating will improve student focus and reduce fatigue caused by sitting for long periods and give our students a sense of pride in their music room.
Donations to this project are now being matched, thanks to support from Quill.com. Because Quill.com understands schools, Quill.com offers a variety of tailored programs and services to meet their needs. By actively partnering with national organizations like DonorsChoose, Quill.com helps schools enrich learning by ensuring low prices on the supplies classrooms need most.
