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

Hi, I’m Ms. Coleman, and this upcoming school year will be my first as a CT. I’m ecstatic about the new year — the new students, new opportunities, and everything in between!

Because it’s my first year, I am starting from scratch.

I want to create a safe classroom environment that my students can uplift one another in, while growing/reaching their goals. With the help of classroom materials, decor., etc., I hope to achieve this.

If you feel called to help/donate, I would so appreciate it. Anything helps! I truly do it all for the students, and I couldn’t do it without the help of community.

Thank you,

Ms. Coleman
