My Project

Two things that have been made abundantly clear are that engagement and relevance are super important when selecting learning tasks for students to participate in.

This project features decor, keepsakes, costumes, and food that will be used to celebrate Black History throughout the month of February.

Black History Month costumes, decorations, supplies, and themed dining materials will be used for both our annual Black History Month Program, as well as our Lunch & Learn event.

Students will be creating and displaying art and projects about notable African Americans. We also plan to offer small bite-size amounts of delicious historical African American cuisine for program attendees.

Mr. Hart Catalina Elementary School Grades 3-5

Celebrate Black teachers and kids! This project supports a Black teacher or a school where the majority of students are Black.

Equity Focus

At this school, more than 50% of students are Black, Latino, and/or Native American, and more than 50% come from low-income households. Learn how your donation to this school supports a more equitable education.

This project will directly impact historically underfunded classrooms.
