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

Greetings! I serve as a homeroom and self-contained teacher of highly energetic, creative, and fun-loving students on the middle school hall. My students includes a host of boys and girls, several with IEPs and learning behaviors, but they all have a desire to be loved and educated. They challenge me daily to create lessons with differentiation to help them master specific lessons.

There are no shortcuts to any place worth going to.

– Beverly Stills

Although my students are from a low, socioeconomic area, I encourage them to work diligently, because there aren't any shortcuts in life. My school is a Title-1 school in rural Alabama. My students often come to school without basic needs and supplies, BUT, I'm looking to change that along with your help. My students and I definitely would appreciate the donations from donors like yourselves.

My Project

Help me give my students an emoji bag filled with lots of little treasures for their holiday gifts. First, the emoji bags are not only a gift bag but they can be used afterwards to hold anything they choose-from their lunches to their PE clothes. I will use my Cricut to personalize not only their bags but the water bottles as well. Since Covid, students aren't allowed to drink out of school fountain and have to bring their own water. However, we have adapted a water station but the students need refillable bottles to use these. Next, a sensory poppable watch that would help them to stay focus and manage their behavior. Although I think the parents and teachers will enjoy this the most, lol.

The holidays should be filled with joy.

No child should have to feel ashamed or embarrassed because their not afforded the opportunity to have parents to provide the smaller things. With your help, we can achieve this together. Let's make those joy bells ring.
