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

I would love to give each scholar their own crayons, pencils, dry erase markers, and folders to be successful at school. Teachers will be able to have everything scholars need to be organized, labeled, and prepared before scholars even arrive.

When scholars begin school, they will have everything ready, so scholars can focus on learning instead of finding materials.

Scholars will be able to learn academic and social-emotional skills that will help them be successful both in and out of the classroom because they will have all the supplies they need.
