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

My students are some of the most creative kids I know! They work so hard on every project and assignment given. They are goofy, talented, fun loving kids. They love to draw and create masterpieces out of anything they can find!

We conduct weekly science experiments.

Every week I am in awe at the inquisitive minds of my students!

They deserve to have basic school supplies that lasts the entire school year!

Thank you for considering this project! We appreciate the support.

My Project

As the first half of the year is ending, we are quickly running out of supplies!

I am creating this campaign to help in purchasing much needed supplies such as erasers, tissues, pencils, etc...

My students have been hard at work this year, sharpening many pencils to the metal and running out of eraser well before the pencil is done. Pencils and erasers are a main supply that my students are in desperate need of.

We are also down to one box of tissues. We are going to quickly run out of tissues completely. With many months left of school, tissues are of utmost importance.

At the beginning of the year, I purchased headphones for my students, as we do a lot of work on the iPads. Unfortunately, these headphones were less than good quality and did not last more than a few weeks. Headphones would greatly help my students be successful.

Thank you for considering this project!
