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 believe that every individual deserves the opportunity to unlock the world of knowledge through proficient reading skills. However, we recognize that many individuals face significant challenges in developing these skills, hindering their academic success and personal growth. That's why I am committed to crafting a comprehensive recipe for reading success. This recipe includes tailored reading resources, innovative teaching methods, and dedicated support systems designed to empower struggling readers and set them on the path to literacy. But I cannot achieve this ambitious goal alone. I need your support to gather the essential ingredients for our recipe - resources such as phonics materials, leveled books, interactive learning tools, and professional development opportunities for educators. Your generous donation will enable us to procure these vital resources and make a tangible difference in the lives of those who need it most.Your contribution, no matter the size, will have a direct and lasting impact on the individuals we serve. Together, we can provide struggling readers with the tools they need to thrive academically and beyond.

Thank you for considering our request for support.

Your generosity will help us create a brighter future for all learners.
