My Project

I hope this message finds you well. I am reaching out to request your support for an important cause that can have a lasting impact on the lives of students here at BES.

Your donation will go directly toward school supplies and things needed for the classroom, ensuring that these students are given the best chance to thrive academically.

As a math teacher, students can benefit from using the place value whiteboards. It is essential to support kids the best way you can, so it would be helpful to provide students with snacks throughout the day as needed, as some kids do not have the funds to eat at home.

Any donation, small or big, will make a difference. Thank you.

Ms. Melvin William Cullen Bryant Elementary School Grades 3-5

Celebrate Black teachers and kids! This project supports a Black teacher or a school where the majority of students are Black.
