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

Starting off the school year with the necessary supplies and materials helps to make the school year a success. These school supplies will help ease the burden on my student's families after such a challenging school year by helping to provide school supplies for the classroom, so they don't have to purchase supplies themselves. The supplies in this project will provide my students with the materials that are necessary for the day-to-day activities and work that will take place in our classroom. I am requesting items that are truly "the basics".

By having these supplies, my students will feel excited and prepared for school.

Students want to feel prepared. If I can have these supplies ready for the students, they will not feel left out and will be set up for a successful year! I know having a student feel prepared for the school year sets the tone! Students love to have new supplies.
