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

I teach a social studies to a wonderfully bright group of middle school students. Every day they amaze me with their curiosity, commitment to learning, and critical thinking skills. I loop with my students, so I have taught my eighth graders for the better part of three years. I have watched my classes grow in remarkable ways. They are advanced learners, but still lack access to the educational experiences that make my course great.

My school is a great school that is working to provide new experiential learning for all of our students.

We are making strides, but still have a long way to go. As a teacher working to promote our mission and vision to developing balanced, independent, creative, critical thinkers, I feel it is my mission to ensure that every student has access to the best education possible.

My Project

Your donation will be used to fund several scholarships to send individual students to Europe. Right now, families are covering air fare, room and board, our tour director, tour guides, insurance fees, and admission into historical and cultural sites. All of these items are covered in one total balance that parents pay on student accounts. We will award scholarships based on financial need and academic performance. We will apply the money directly to student accounts. Ideally, we will raise enough to provide substantial assistance to our students, since we are a Title I school and paying for this trip requires a great deal of fundraising. I want to help parents as much as possible! The leftover money will be used to pay tips to our tour director, bus driver, and tour guides.
