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

I am requesting health and wellness items such as Kleenex and hand sanitizer, as well as snacks for our PBIS program. My students come from a low-income, high-poverty area. Daily my students are faced with several challenges both inside and outside of the classroom. Our school is a safe place for them to learn and thrive.

We have fallen in love with PBIS this past school year, but are in need of materials to ensure continued success.

Daily I watch my students persevere despite their many life challenges. Coming to school is a safe haven for many. Our scholars have navigated the challenges of this year like rockstars! Despite all of the challenges due to COVID-19, they have worked exceptionally hard this year. Many scholars have met or exceeded grade-level goals!

To start the school year strong, our school will host a PBIS (Positive Behavior Interventions and Supports) assembly.

During this time, we will teach students how we will celebrate all of the successes and achievements our classrooms will make this year, and how we will recognize positive behaviors and good choices that scholars make.

As part of the assembly, we will introduce scholars to our Shining STARs program. When scholars are 'caught' being SAFE, showing TEAMWORK, being ACCOUNTABLE, or being RESILIENT, they can earn a Shining STAR. These can be combined to earn prizes such as fun school supplies, games, and treats. To start stocking our cart, I'd love to be able to provide our scholars with wellness items like individual hand sanitizers and individual Pocket Packs of Kleenex, as well as favorite treats like hot chips, Rice Krispies Treats, Gatorade, and Pringles crisps.

We can't wait to celebrate our scholars' academic and behavioral successes!
