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

Our school is located in a rapidly growing suburb in South Carolina. So far, our school has 1400 students, but with all the development in our town, that number is bound to keep growing! Despite the high growth rate in our area, our school community has managed to stay tight-knit.

Our school family strives to create a place where the students feel safe and comfortable to be themselves, take chances, grow into productive young adults, and, subsequently, learn!

Our students love working collaboratively and stretching their imaginations. They are high schoolers in ninth through twelfth grades, roughly 14 - 18 years old.

My Project

These books will continue to enhance the print-rich school that we strive to create. Ours is a library that my students really enjoy. They make things, gather and read together, they complete work there, and they read independently. Every student book that is placed in our library is treated with love and care, and they are thankful for the opportunities to read. Our book club book titles have been chosen with our student body in mind, by our students.

Research shows that empathy increases from reading and discussing literature with diversity in the story, and these books will continue to help my students grow stronger in empathy and wishes to include others.

This project will only help enrich their experiences.
