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

My students are always eager to learn and be active in their learning. This is why I am requesting your help with providing my students with art supplies and snacks for a fun filled day of Paint & Nip for my next Fun Friday event. The art supplies I have requested such as paint brushes, aprons, construction paper, and washable paint will be utilized to create a painting as a class, and the snacks will be given to them as they paint. All week long my students continue to meet and surpass the expectations of myself and the district by completing over 5 lesson of Zearn every week. Because of their dedication to success, I reward my students with a Free Friday in which they are able to enjoy the company of myself and their classmate by participating in a creative art session. These art supplies and snacks in my cart will bless them tremendously. Thank you for your continued support of my amazing students.
