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

As a first-year fifth-grade teacher fresh out of college, securing funding for my classroom is crucial for creating an environment where both my students and I can thrive. Beyond textbooks and curriculum materials, investing in teacher supplies such as organizational tools, classroom decorations, and professional development resources will help me effectively manage the classroom and continuously improve my teaching practices. Additionally, funding for student supplies such as notebooks, pencils, art materials, and educational games ensures that every student has equitable access to the resources they need to actively engage in learning. By supporting our classroom financially, you're not only investing in the success of today's students but also in the growth and development of a passionate new educator dedicated to making a difference in young lives.
