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

In my classroom, one of my priorities is to remind my students of the importance of maintaining a clean school environment by cleaning up after themselves and being aware of picking up trash such as plastic wrappers, uneaten fruits, and veggies around the school site. Due to this opportunity, I am teaching my students the importance of picking up trash and recycling.

Therefore, by funding my project, my students will become active in spreading the word to the whole school about the importance of recycling.

We are in desperate need of bins. Please help.

Grades 6-8
