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

Did you know if you provide kinesthetic outlets for children and they move their bodies, their brains are better engaged and learning deepens? This fundraiser would provide flexible seating for small-group instruction (personalized depending on the unique needs of a student).

Please consider investing and making our future brighter by investing in our children's success!

Do you think current events and informational texts are important for civic development at a young age? I do! This would also raise money to give a digital + print subscription to Scholastic News - nonfiction texts with current events & informational articles for all of 2nd grade!
