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 Students

Our STEM high school is a 100% free and reduced-price lunch charter school in Kansas City, Missouri. Our student population, a mixed demographic of primarily Hispanic, Somali, and African American students, is over 50% ESL. Many of these students have experienced trauma and/or grown up in families where their most basic needs are often unmet.

Reading outside of assigned work is a challenge for our high school students.

Providing them with great young adult literature that reflects their experiences, understand the experiences of others, and see the "what if" possibilities of the future is vital to encouraging and developing them to become enthusiastic life long readers.

My Project

With all the wonderful support from DonorsChoose patrons, I have filled my shelves with great young adult literature but my shelves have become so full, I have very little space to display the books in a way the students can easily see what is available.

Let's help my students be able to easily find the books they are looking for by adding a unique and exciting new display to my library.

I wish I could share a picture. This display is 4 sided with regular shelves on 2 sides and flat display shelves on the other 2. It will give me more storage but, more importantly, more space to display all the wonderful new books our supporters at DonorsChoose have generously provided.
