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
We are a Title 1 school and 95% of the students qualify free/ reduced meals. We have a student population of 1,200 students, which consists of 80% African Americans, 10% Whites, and approximately 10% of the population is from other countries. Our school is a career-orientated school. We do our best to include all of our students no matter where they are from or what their skill levels are. Being a special education teacher, I assist those students who have special needs to be successful in what career options they choose. I have approximately 10 students that I teach American Literature & Composition. These students have a wide range of learning disabilities, from Learning Disabled to Autism. These seniors deserve a great send off into the world.
My Project
I have four seniors who are embarking on a journey that begins with college. I want to be able to give these students something that will last and hold up to the day to day life of a college student.
Having a well constructed back pack and a safety device that will last them and protect them in their journey.
Not having to worry about where or how to take things needed for college is one thing off of their minds. Having a safety device in those times when you have to walk or be alone can give everyone a little piece of mind. Keeping our loved ones safe.
