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

We have had the joy of working with our students all year. Knowing they are moving on in grade and some to other schools. As we prepare for the end of the year and summer, we would like to provide the classroom with the needed supplies to get us through to the end of the year and packages to send students home with some amazing items to assist them in their summer and to combat summer reading loss.

Summer reading loss is a big issue at every grade level.

This is why I want to provide the students with books to read over the summer. To accompany those books, I would like to have fun bookmarks so the students don't lose their places while reading. I would also like to give them water bottles that will be personalized with their names to keep them hydrated. Lastly, we have run out of tissues and disinfecting wipes. Those items quickly add up and are expensive to provide for the classroom. With allergy season quickly approaching, tissues are needed for runny noses.
