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

I am a first year teacher and I realized that most of my students do not come to school prepared. Some students may not be able to afford supplies while others lose their supplies, throw them away, or misuse them. However, whatever the case may be, I cannot sit idle and watch my students not have supplies. Something so simple as a pencil and notebook can help a student learn and get through the day. This is important to not only the child, but to me as well. NO CHILD SHOULD BE LEFT BEHIND! Every child should have all the supplies they need whether they can afford them or not, and it's our job as educators to make sure of that.

Grades 3-5
