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 Students
"Don't quit. Suffer now and live the rest of your life as a champion." —Muhammad Ali.
This is the motto in our classroom, and my students work hard every day to ensure that they are prepared to be successful citizens in this 21st century world.
My students are incredibly hard workers. They don't all come from the best circumstances, but once they walk through the doors of our school, they know they are safe and taken care of. Eighty-five percent of our students get free or reduced-price lunch. We are a Title I funded school that provides all students with a free breakfast each morning. Our school has wonderful partnerships with the community in order to provide our inner-city students with all the opportunities they need to become successful citizens.
My students love to learn. They love experiencing new things, and they come to school each day excited to learn with their classmates and teachers.
My Project
I am requesting a new back pack vacuum for our custodial staff. I imagine it is never easy to be tasked with the job of maintaining a building as large as our elementary. However, I know without a doubt that this pandemic has only made it harder. I am so proud of our custodial staff and the work that they do every day to ensure the health, safety, and cleanliness of our building. This team of dedicated employees works hard with smiles on their faces day in and day out.
I want them to know how much we appreciate their efforts and I know that this is one small thing that could make their lives at work just a little bit easier.
