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

Our school's media center is the hub of the school. My pre-k through 5th grade students love to come in and read, create, and explore.

This project will create a STEM Makerspace for our students to practice critical thinking and problem-solving skills.

By donating towards this project, you are funding LEGO bricks, magnetic blocks, pipe cleaners, and other STEM supplies. The students at my school will be using these activities daily and throughout the school year. We cannot wait to set up and supply our school's Makerspace for our amazing students!
