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 Students

Students in my classroom consist of a culturally diverse community. As my school is nestled within an urban setting, students enter my "learning cottage" with drastically differing backgrounds. Students often face many hardships outside of school. I aim to make my classroom serve as a consistent and safe place for students to thrive.

My students are so sweet and so deserving of every opportunity that life has to offer.

Though my children have so many things on their plate outside of the classroom, they always come to school ready to learn.

My Project

My students are so sweet and deserving. Most of my students come to school with little to no school supplies. By providing them with the basic necessities for school, their educational experience will undoubtedly be significantly impacted positively.

My students are more than appreciative and deserving of a quality education.

Glue sticks, dry erase markers, supply holders, binders, and more are just a few of the supplies that students use daily that seem to be always in need in our classroom. Every activity we do involves all of these supplies at some point. My students wouldn't have to worry about being embarrassed and would have higher academic success and confidence by being prepared for class each day.
