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 like the fact that students always ask me for pencils. I usually hear the words "Ms. Ibanez, I need pencil." or "Can you give me a pencil?" or "I have no pencil." So, every time they ask, I want to provide, because they need to be involved in every task and not waste time to get pencils from their lockers, just to get their own. Please help me have my stock of pencils for the entire quarter, for easy and comfortable learning. I am so thankful I found DonorChoose.
