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

Mailboxes are something that we use daily in the classroom. Students store their completed work and important papers in them. They help give them a little sense of independence in the classroom. They check them everyday before they pack up.

We are currently using mailboxes made out of cardboard.

They were bought at the beginning of the year and didn't last more than a couple of months before falling apart.

Our classroom would love to have a heavy duty mailbox. This would help students be more organized.

Thank you for considering our project!

Ms. McKinley
Grades PreK-2
