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

Our students are learners, explorers, and creators. They are avid learners who are excited to come to school daily!

Our pre-k students are building academic and social skills they will use for years to come.

Our students come from all over St. Louis, with many living in the neighborhoods surrounding our school. They are funny, creative, compassionate, and growing daily. Their time in school offers opportunities for making friends, gaining knowledge, and believing in themselves.

My Project

Classroom environments play a huge role in a student's day to day experience at school. Our pre-k students are just beginning their educational careers, and are learning to love school!

Having a variety of lighting options in our classrooms creates a welcoming and calming environment for our students.

These lamps will give teachers an opportunity to decorate their classrooms with functional items. The lamps will give students and staff a break from harsh overhead lighting, which we find less optimal in our classroom environments. As a result, students will be more engaged and peaceful during the school day.
