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

As the school year comes to a close, I am filled with immense pride in the achievements of my 8th-grade students. They have worked tirelessly, overcome challenges, and grown academically and personally. To honor their dedication and celebrate their accomplishments, I am seeking your support to provide them with a small token of appreciation. These graduation items will serve as tangible reminders of their hard work and perseverance, marking this important milestone in their academic journey.

The goals of this project are twofold: first, to express gratitude to my students for their commitment to learning and growth throughout the school year, and second, to foster a sense of pride and accomplishment as they prepare to transition to high school.

These items (stickers, wristbands, keychains, tattoos, chocolate/candy, pens, bears, journals) will not only serve as mementos of their time in 8th grade but also as symbols of encouragement and support as they embark on the next chapter of their education. Your generosity will make a meaningful difference in the lives of these young learners, empowering them to continue striving for excellence and reaching their full potential. Together, let's celebrate their achievements and inspire them to pursue their dreams with confidence and determination.
