My students need clothing, socks, under garments, and all other items that are used daily to ensure they are ready to receive the best education possible.
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
I work in a county that services low-income students. My students come from families/neighborhoods that may not be able to provide a positive environment and for that reason, they have challenges in and out of school. Due to the location of my school, 100 percent of the students receive free breakfast and lunch.
My students are happy, inquisitive, and risk-takers despite their economic background.
While at school, we focus on educating the "whole child". They're placed in various settings that they typically may not have been in before. My school tries very hard to create a positive environment and try to get the community stakeholders involved as well.
My Project
My students desperately need socks, under garments, uniform shirts, uniform pants, coats, and so many items we may take for granted. This items are necessary for my students in order for them to be successful in my classroom.
My students have big dreams that require them to have the basic necessities in order for them to be successful.
I would use all items to ensure when students arrive to school they are properly dressed and ready for instruction. I believe that by doing this, the stage for learning is set. Students will be able to focus on school and not the clothing they may have on.
