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

Research has shown that both older adults and young people benefit from intergenerational relationships. These interactions promote mental and emotional wellness and a sense of purpose. Educational partnerships between K–12 schools and senior centers or homes can offer a host of benefits for students, teachers, and the elders.

Our hope is to get supplies including diffusers, oils, and bags.

Packaging these items with a poem will give my students the opportunity to give to the elderly in our community during Mother's Day. Please help make this happen for my students.

Our students are looking forward to helping their community and to make a difference. They came up with this idea and will be thrilled to be able to make this happen with your help.

Mr. Lester
Grades 6-8
