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

The specific items we're requesting, such as pencils, paperclips, folders, organizers, and Expo markers, may seem basic but are essential for creating an organized and efficient learning environment. Paperclips and folders help students keep their work neat and organized, while organizers and Expo markers allow teachers to plan and deliver lessons effectively.

Our goals for this project are to ensure that every student has access to the materials they need to succeed and that teachers have the tools they need to create engaging and effective lessons.

By providing these supplies, we can help reduce barriers to learning and create a more inclusive and supportive classroom environment.

What makes our students special is their resilience and determination. Despite facing various challenges, they come to school every day ready to learn and grow. They are curious, creative, and full of potential, and with the right support, they can achieve anything.
