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
Every day my students defy the odds. Many have been written off and not expected to be productive, yet they continue to work hard while pursuing their goals. Several have expressed an interest in reading different types of books. I would like to add to my classroom library to expose my students to different authors and genres. These books will expose my students to new worlds and help them see anything is possible. My goal is to motivate them to see themselves in the characters they read about and know that they can pursue their dreams.
This classroom project was brought to life by Leo W. Seal, Jr. Family Foundation
and one other donor.
