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

The purchasing of school supplies can be both exciting and exhausting for students and parents. I would love to take the stress out of finding the right folder or notebook color for my parents and students.

All students, regardless of their economic status, want to have all needed materials and supplies to be successful on day one of school.

With this project being fully funded, I can do that.

Students at my school aim to please and love learning. Imagining a first day of school with all students having what they need will make my teacher heart smile and allow us to get started on a good foot on day one.

Mrs. Hood
Grades 3-5
