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

Hello! I'm a kindergarten teacher to 25 wonderful little ones! These students love coming to school every day and I want to make sure they have everything they need to be success at school!

I enjoy working with these bright young minds.

I learn from them every day! Each day the way they approach and take responsibility for their own learning continues to impress me. I hope to make the learning process engaging and fun while making their school experience one they will always treasure.

My Project

We have so many school supplies in our classroom and we need a place to store them! We are using many books this year and have run out of space to put them. Seats sacks are a space saving way for the students to store their belongings!

The students will enjoy being responsible for their own seat sacks and having their own personal space!

The students will no longer have to wait for their books to be distributed, they will be right there with them!

We appreciate you taking the time to take a look at our project. Once our project is funded we look forward to sharing with you pictures of everything being put to use!
