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

Dear donors:

I have high expectations for my students for the upcoming school year!

I want to get an early start and get the materials organized so when my students walk in on the first day of school, we can start the year off right and everyone is ready! I was able to start this school year with all their supplies and it was wonderful, everyone had everything they needed and all students were ready to learn and no hard feelings about not having something.

These basic materials will help so much! The composition notebooks are the most expensive, but a requirement for our school district. They will be used as interactive notebooks and each student need several and school supply lists can add up quickly. Everything we are using will help the students in class stay on task and help them complete their assignments. Thank you!

Ms. Rainey
Grades 3-5
