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

My students are super sweet and smart. I know that they would love an opportunity to have space to explore new worlds within their classroom. I refer to my students as future world changers.

Many of them want to be in professions that save lives but need to know that it can be a reality.

They live in a community where opportunities to explore the world are limited. My first graders deserve a chance to grow the same as many other first graders regardless of the environment.

My Project

This holiday season, I would like to provide my students with some objects they will not only need but will enjoy. Many of them do not have books at home that is on their level of reading. Also, their books lack characters that look like them.

I want my students to receive a memorable gift this year.

I know this year has been rough and stressful for all parties involved. Pop It toys will relieve the stress, and a new book will grow their brain. This will be their best holiday!
