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

Highly motivated and curious learners, my students are always eager to learn. I have requested the supplies that I need to start the school year so that they will have all the necessary items. I believe that as a teacher, it is my responsibility to motivate my students by focusing on the positive instead of the lack of supplies.

This will allow them to use the materials and supplies they need to excel.

I am also requesting that all of my students have the basic school supplies so that they can start the school year with a successful start. When we are doing Math lessons, students will have the whiteboards and whiteboard markers to do the lessons. When we are doing an art lesson, students will have markers and scissors in class. Your donation will not only help us improve the students' focus and attention, but it will also help raise their academic performance.
