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

Students come to me asking for basic need essentials like hair ties, clips, and deodorant. Please help me restock their student box with these essentials so they can carry on about their day with a positive demeanor! To add to that, I do allow students to snack in my room when they're hungry but they sometimes leave a mess. I would like to be able to vacuum so that the environment is clean for the next class!

Help me vacuum up their breadcrumbs so we can reuse the classroom rug for the next few years and limit classroom waste!

In addition to the protector, students would like some iPhone charging cords. My students often ask to charge their tablets that they will use to listen to music while working.
