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

Dear Generous Supporters,

Imagine a classroom where every student has the tools they need to succeed.

Unfortunately, in our school, many of our students come to class without basic supplies, such as paper & pencils. As a dedicated educator, I believe that every child deserves the chance to excel, regardless of their circumstances.

Pencils may seem like a small thing, but they are essential for learning. From solving math problems to writing essays, pencils are the foundation of academic success. Yet, for too many of our students, the lack of access to pencils creates a barrier to learning.

That's why I'm reaching out to you for help. By donating to our classroom, you can make a direct impact on our students' education. With your support, we can ensure that every child has the paper & pencils they need to participate fully in class, complete assignments, and reach their full potential.
