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

Every child deserves to feel special especially around the holidays. My students have worked so hard this school year and I want to recognize their hard work by having a surprise holiday celebration.

A holiday surprise celebration would give my students a chance to receive treats and rewards for the holiday.

They will receive a bag of goodies that they can enjoy individually or with their families.

Students will also make an ornament for their families to celebrate the holiday. This will also teach them the importance of giving to others during the holidays.
