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

I deeply appreciate the enthusiasm and dedication my students bring to prom preparations. However, escalating costs and inflation have posed significant challenges for the planning committee. Despite this, they are unwavering in their commitment to creating a memorable and magical evening for all attendees.

Your generous support will play a crucial role in providing the necessary resources to make this event a success.

Together, we can overcome these obstacles and ensure that our students have a prom night filled with laughter, joy, and unforgettable moments. Thank you for making their prom dreams a reality!
