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

During our ACAP State Testing period, student attendance has been less than ideal. To address this issue and ensure our students are present and ready to perform their best, I propose implementing a set of incentives aimed at motivating attendance and participation throughout the testing period.

Included in this project are essential items such as chips, water, candy, and juices, which will be provided to students daily during testing sessions.

These incentives aim to create a positive atmosphere and reward students for their commitment to attendance.

Additionally, to support their academic success, each student will receive homework folders to organize their assignments, as well as notebook paper and mechanical pencils to facilitate note-taking during the testing period.

By implementing these incentives, I aim to foster a supportive environment that encourages student attendance and engagement during the crucial state testing window. The program will commence immediately upon our return from Spring break, ensuring that students are motivated and prepared for success.
