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 won't lie: plainly and simply, I just need graduation gifts (the cost for which I am unable to afford myself) for my students!

My seniors graduating this year have enriched my life so much and reminded me, daily, why I started teaching, and I just want to celebrate them!

And, as I am an English teacher, what better way to celebrate them than by getting them books!

I've tailored each book specifically to the the student and have picked out books I think they will love and cherish well into adulthood.

And the wrapping paper and gift bags are self-explanatory. If you can, please help me give the gift of reading and learning to my students beyond the walls and time limits of high school.
