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

I teach in New Orleans at a public school. 98% of our students are on a free Lunch program. It is a High Poverty school trying to achieve higher learning for all our students. I am a social worker and I need social emotional toys, games to support my students' learning and make school less stressful for all our students.

We were in a temporary building for two years and have just located back in our new building.

I wish to make it possible for my students to complete this year with as little stress as possible.

My Project

The bean bags, the prizes, and stress balls are requested to create a positive attitude in our student body.

I am the social worker requesting a few supplies to set up a center where students can relax, cool down and get positive reinforcement and get back to learning.

A majority of our families come from the lower social-economic background and we need your cooperation to get through this academic year successfully and with minimal stress to our students who feel very anxious with all this movement from building to building.

Our parents support us but can't provide the necessary items requested.
