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 work in an extremely underserved, low-income school in the inner city. So many of my students are homeless, living in hotels, being raised by a grandparent, or in serious financial need. We do have some resources at our school for Christmas, but there are requirements such as a parent must come to a parent-teacher conference in order to receive Christmas assistance. I have some students who I know did not have a parent show up to conferences, and I don't want them to be without come Christmas morning. The items that I am requesting are educational because they are sensory supporting gifts that will help my special education students while they are at home.

If this project is funded, I will wrap the gifts, deliver them to their houses, and make sure that none of my students wake up on Christmas morning without a present to open!

Christmas is such a magical time, especially for children. If anyone is interested in helping make the lives of my students better around this time of year, any donation would be greatly appreciated!
