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 academic year draws to a close, I'm focused on finishing strong for my students and restocking essential classroom supplies.

This includes providing new equipment like soccer balls and cones for practice drills, as I will be coaching soccer my first year, I want to supply the best materials for my scholars.

Also, worn-out headphones—ours need to be replaced since many are no longer working—supplying fake money for financial education, ensuring there's enough slime for leisure activities, and stocking up on Lysol wipes to maintain a healthy and clean environment.
