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
We are an innovation school. This means that our school has been given a chance to provide even more meaningful opportunities to the students in our boundaries. Students at my school receive free and reduced lunch. I am the school Social Worker.
I provide a variety of services to the students and families of our building.
I teach students about good hygiene practices. I talk with them about how to control and verbalize their emotions. I also work with students that struggle with social skills. Our school is also a Project Restore School. Each week students take academic tests that assess different skills. All assessments are cumulative and rigorous, which means skills can not be forgotten and are always practiced.
My Project
Not having the basic clothing essentials is something our students deal with on a regular basis. Many students don't have clean socks or underwear when they come to school. This can cause students to be bullied and even make some students not want to come to school. Our school has a washing machine and a dryer in which we can wash clothes for our students while they are at school. However, we don't always have something students can change into if they have an accident or if they just need their own clothing washed.
Having laundry detergent, new socks, and new underwear for students can make them feel more at ease and happy when they are at school.
This can also help them stay focused on their academics.
