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, undergarments, uniform shirts, uniform pants, coats, and so many items we may take for granted. These 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.
If my project is funded, I would start a uniform closet at my school for all students. This is important because we have so many students that come to school without a coat, proper clothes, or just the basic needs. We use a lot of our money on proper shoes, undergarments, and uniforms for our school.
