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

Our students are inquisitive, bright, loving, and open. They are full of life and ask questions all day. They love tactile and hands-on experiences. They are actors and singers and poets with untapped potential that needs to be nurtured.

But so many of them come from very stressed, economically disadvantaged families, that cannot always meet their needs.

These babies just need that extra push to help them break through the barriers to the best educational experiences.

My Project

Virtual learning has been the most challenging thing I have done in my 27 years of education. Even though my district has supplied technology, many of my students all who have special needs, still need working computers. Some have backups available at home, but some do not. The ability to access virtual resources is critical to the growth and development of my babies. Even after this is over my students will need access to working technology. We use laptops to access almost every piece of content and without access, my students will continue to fall behind. If I could afford this I would, but I cannot. Please help me, help my kids. Thank you so much.
