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

For this project, I have focused on the bare basics needed in our classroom to make it function properly. This included items like paper products, folders, dry erase board erasers, laminating sheets, and take home folders.

These very basic materials are invaluable for us to have a great end of the year, as well as a great beginning for next year.

I appreciate everything our donors do to make our classroom an even better place for our students. Thank you for checking out our classroom project for the bare necessities!
