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

I am finishing up my first year of teaching and realizing what supplies are necessary with the population of students that I work with. A lot of my students cannot afford basic supplies that are needed to be successful in school and if they are to be successful, they will need some support from myself and my school to provide everything they need.

Things like ink, paper, class sets of books, writing utensils, and visual aids are all necessary for my students to succeed and pass to the fifth grade.

A lot of students that come into my class do not have access to food everyday outside of school, so having school supplies is not a thought in their minds. I want to provide these items so that my students can receive a quality education and achieve everything they set their minds to!
