The Elegance of Black History Month

Help me give my students what they need for the Black History Month Assembly.

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Josephs's classroom raised $183

This project is fully funded

Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

Celebrate Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.

My Project

Our students are performing for black history month. We would like to showcase our talents in a beautiful way. We are learning about our heritage and want to share it with others.

These materials will help our students to give a great performance and give them a sense of pride in there hard work.

We hope that with these materials will spark an interest in our history and a quest for more knowledge.

The African cloth will be used to put together a fashion show for our students during the assembly. The question book will be used to ask questions over the P.A each day during black history month.
