Help me give my students uniform blazers to wear to school. Your contribution will go a long way to helping our students become successful inside and outside the classroom.
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
I work as a special education teacher in a low-income/high poverty school district. My students are faced with several challenges both in and out of the classroom. Despite the many challenges they encounter, I am looking to provide my students with uniform jackets they will be able to wear to school.
The students range from grades 3-5 and need uniform jackets.
I want to help our students look and do their very best. We are in need of uniform jackets in order for them to be successful in class.
My Project
Our students need Calvin Klein boys blazers. Uniforms teach students to dress smartly and take pride in their appearance.
Uniforms have a helpful leveling effect in school systems where there is economic diversity.
It can be quite expensive to dress our children. $300.00 per child is not an unreasonable amount spent on each child for back-to-school wear. But that total is for September, only. Most parents continue to purchase new outfits throughout the entire school year as the weather and fashion perceptions change. That's a lot of money that can be well spent elsewhere in most households.
Many of our children have limited chances to feel a close part of their schools and communities. If this program can offer unity for our children, then it should be granted. Our schools should inspire our kids to excel in learning and be community spirited.
