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
Many of my students struggle to have pencils and markers to do our practice work. It would greatly benefit myself and my student's learning experience if I could have a stash of writing utensils for them throughout the year. As we get closer to the end of the year I am already starting to run out of supplies! My students come from disenfranchised homes, providing them with the simple luxury of a pencil can really make the difference between them having a positive and productive day vs a day of defeat.
Donations to this project are now being matched, thanks to support from Kleenex. Kleenex® Brand is proud to help ensure that teachers can count on the supplies they need for their students to thrive.
