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

My students work very hard everyday, so I would love to be able to provide them with all of their favorite snacks and drinks as a reward. The rest of this year will consist of several different tests for each student, including AP, ACT, SAT, benchmark, Biliteracy Seal, and others.

With the addition of Pringles, Ramen, and Powerade, my students will have something to look forward to during this busy testing season.

As we all know, students work best when they are not hungry. All of these snacks will go to supplement their free school lunches. Some snacks will be available for students to take home for those experiencing food scarcity issues. This project will increase student focus and participation.
