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

As a teacher at a Title I school, I want to make sure the students start the year of right. A fully stocked English class will help the efficiency of the classroom, so every scholar feels prepared to be successful.

A pencil can empower a child to want to learn, and you can have the ability to do that!

Highlighters and pencils can help with annotation of an article. Magnetic folders can organize their work, and tissues can make sure they stay in the classroom to maximize learning time. Any donation can help to start this school year off right.
