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

Get ready for an electrifying journey! Our middle schoolers are gearing up to acquire life skills that will set them on the path to becoming outstanding community leaders. Our Learning Squad is on a mission to ignite a positive work ethic among our future leaders. Brace yourself for an unforgettable theater experience intertwined with the holiday spirit! But here's the real kicker: our middle schoolers are taking the reins! From meticulously planning every detail to rolling up their sleeves and getting hands-on during the event, they'll be there every step of the way. Picture this: vibrant advertisements flooding the airwaves, buzz spreading like wildfire through our school news broadcast, and the sweet sound of cash registers ringing in donations. And that's not all – with precision worthy of a Hollywood production, our student teams will transform the venue, setting up the requested big screen on its stand and unleashing the power of the requested projector. It's not just an event; it's a showcase of talent, dedication, and community spirit! Get ready to be wowed!
