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

The items I am requesting are standard items students need each year to start off on the right foot. These items will allow me to set each student up with the tools they need to begin learning right away.

Students often have to wait to have all of their beginning of the year items.

This project will allow me to set students up with basic items to start learning right away. Schools supplies can often be a struggle for parents. These items will allow my students to have matching items that make communication with the students easier. The headphones will last for several years and allow all of my students equal access to listening and learning activities in the classroom.
