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

Often over-looked, items like pencils, sharpeners and personal hygiene kits are essential to the growth and success of my students throughout the year. My hope is to allow students the ease of knowing they're covered in my classroom - from toothbrushes to breakfast, they have all the tools they need to learn free of distraction.

Unfortunately, these are also the items teachers dip into personal funds to supply the most.

A donation to my project will ensure my 90 scholars will have everything they need to succeed next school year!

Grades 3-5
