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

Join us in empowering our middle school artists by supporting our campaign for ink squeegees! These essential tools will complete our screen printing materials, allowing students to bring their creative designs to life on school event shirts.

The specific items we're requesting will integrate math and art, providing students with hands-on experience in measurement, pattern creation, and design application.

This interdisciplinary approach enriches their learning, bridging the gap between artistic expression and mathematical concepts.

Our goal is ambitious yet achievable: to create unique shirts showcasing student designs for our Culture Night at the end of May. Your contribution will not only help us reach this goal but also celebrate the diverse talents and creativity of our students.

What makes our students truly special is their passion for learning and their eagerness to explore new artistic mediums. With your support, we can continue to nurture their talents, fostering a vibrant and inclusive arts community within our school.
