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

My role as an educator goes beyond teaching skills; I often see myself in my students, understanding their struggles and the burdens they bear. I view it as my duty to lighten their load, encourage them, and help them believe in themselves. This is my second year teaching, so I’m still fairly new at it. With that being said, it has its challenges and isn't always easy or filled with sunshine and rainbows. Yet, my drive to inspire young people to build their future keeps me motivated.

I'm currently teaching a plumbing program at a high school in the heart of an area affected by the opioid epidemic, in Kensington and Allegheny" My classroom lacks a suitable table for students' comfort.

We are currently using plywood and I would truly appreciate it if you can help change that by providing a new table to work on our plumbing projects.
