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

At our school, we have a wonderful opportunity to introduce low-income students to the world of woodcarving. By offering a woodcarving class, we can provide these students with a chance to explore their creativity and learn valuable skills that they may not have access to otherwise. However, in order to make this class a success, we need your support in providing the necessary supplies.

Imagine the excitement on the faces of our students as they embark on a journey of fun and education through woodcarving.

From 3rd to 8th grade, these young minds are eager to try something different and unleash their artistic potential. Unfortunately, due to financial constraints, many of our students cannot afford to purchase the supplies needed for this class, and our school is unable to provide them.

By donating the necessary supplies, you can make a significant impact on the lives of these students. Not only will they have the opportunity to create beautiful woodcarvings, but they will also develop important skills such as patience, attention to detail, and problem-solving. Woodcarving can be a transformative experience for these students, opening doors to new possibilities and instilling a sense of pride in their creations.

Your contribution will not only provide the materials needed for this class but also send a powerful message to these students that their education and learning are valued. By investing in their artistic growth, you are investing in their future success. Together, we can ensure that every student, regardless of their financial circumstances, has the chance to explore their talents and reach their full potential.
