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

In Washington D.C., scholars and staff are approaching testing season and we are preparing for success at IBW Middle School. We will focus on wellness for our school community.

We know our scholars perform better academically, when they feel confident and prepared.

During testing, scholars will receive raffle tickets if they: 1) remain fully engaged 2) show their work for math 3) apply reading/writing strategies. Raffle tickets will be collected and scholar will receive their incentive/reward, following the testing session. Our goal is to help scholars perform their best with clear expectations that cultivate a supportive learning environment.

We know adults exhibit extreme adaptability and flexibility during the testing season. So, we plan to provide wellness packs to show our gratitude and appreciation for their dedication.

Grades 6-8
