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 Students

Girls Rock! I know it and I'm sure that you do too! Now, I just need to convince my lovely, young ladies! I teach at a single gender public school school in the inner-city.

The population at my school is one hundred percent minority girls with approximately forty percent categorized as ESL or ELL.

All of my students are on the free lunch program and live in low-income neighborhoods. District issues with staffing and resources are causing my students to miss educational experiences that will help them find success in college and beyond. These are wonderful, young ladies with a thirst for knowledge and my mission is to provide them with the tools and knowledge they need to rise above their current circumstances.

My Project

We live in the the inner city and many of our students only eat unhealthy, processed foods. For years, we have had a beautiful greenhouse in our school which, due to budget cuts, has not been operable. We want to clean up our greenhouse to help students learn about nutrition and the importance of locally grown foods.

Perhaps the most important skill a student can learn is how to grow their own food.

This is not something traditionally taught in school, but is a great way to teach students patience, consistency, applied science, nutrition and pride for their work!

Right now our greenhouse is a mess and is used mostly for storage. They girls are ready to clean it up with the supplies from this project. The garbage bags and broom will help us clear out the clutter. The organic cleaning solution will be used to clean all of the surfaces including the glass.

The girls will use these cleaning supplies as the first step to restoring the greenhouse to grow fresh produce all year round. Please help us engage our students in a truly hands-on curriculum that will teach them lifelong skills! Thank you!
