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 I 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

A camera will allow my students to complete videos and personal projects. COVID has taught my students that they we should cherish every moment. A camera would allow our special moments to be captured and shared with family and in our classroom. Students will be able to make individual projects and create videos using the new technology we have learned throughout COVID. A classroom camera would allow my students to feel they can share their special moments with classmates, their school and families through our Google Classroom website to share.

Say Cheese, Please.

We take pictures with phones, but we want to create true photographers That can only be done with a professional camera. Help give these kids the opportunity to take important photos with real cameras and create a yearbook and enhance our school’s monthly newsletter. The advantages of photography and book layout will be beneficial to their future. Most kids in the area have never used a professional camera so give them the chance to create life long memories. Thank you.
