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

Please help me give my student athletes white tablecloths, décor items, and dining utensils to make our sports banquet a success.

These items would help us reward excellence!

Our students have had an amazing season! They have accomplished so much and gave their all! This banquet will allow students to be recognized for all their hard work through the school year. The utensils will allow our students and their families to fellowship with food as a token of appreciation for their dedication and support they have provided to our students this year.
