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

Please help give my students a variety of books to inspire tolerance and develop literacy thru the connection to music. A goal of mine this school year is to build a music room library. These books would live in the music classroom. And once they're all cataloged, the Top Five all star students may also check them out for the week! My elementary students really are the best. Please help me expose them to the stories and cultures of our world through music. Thank you for your support! My students deserve it!

Mrs. Williams
Grades 3-5
