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 Students

A neighborhood elementary school, our school provides students a high-quality education that emphasizes 21st-century skills and prepares students to be real-world leaders and innovators. Designated a welcoming school in a community hit particularly hard by the nation's largest school closing six years ago, we are a fixture in the community with families attending the school for generations and regularly volunteering at the school. We are a hub for parent and family resources, hosting many Parent University events, from resume writing to college tours.

Our staff is committed to equity, ensuring that, although nearly all of our students are low income, they have access to as many resources and opportunities as possible.

We have a nationally competitive chess team that recently placed fourth in the nation, a vibrant arts education program, hands-on STEM projects at every grade level, leadership programming such as our student voice committee and bully-blockers program, cultural trips that take students all over the country, and school-wide social-emotional lessons integrated into the curriculum. It is through the extraordinary efforts and fundraising of staff, parents, and the community that these initiatives are possible, despite budget constraints.

My Project

Our students will be learning from home at least through November and possibly longer. We know that this is a huge challenge for parents, students, and teachers alike. As the teachers at my school work hard to ensure that all students have access to a rigorous education at home, I am tasked with ensuring that all students' social emotional needs are being met and that they are getting the support they need to learn independently.

This project will fund books that target skills like self-soothing and developing a positive outlook for 24 children, fidgets to help 103 students stay focused, and the tools to deliver yoga and mindfulness lessons to all.

Many of the students at our school lack access to learning resources at home. While teachers will ensure that they have the academic tools that they need, I want to also equip them with social-emotional resources to get through this difficult time.
