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 Students

My students usually fall into one of two categories: my regulars and then the students who only come into the library when their teachers force them. My regulars are doers and thinkers, reading and searching for themselves and for their assignments. Others, though, take a little more encouragement.

One thing they all have in common is that, for many of them, my library is their only source for reading materials and information.

They count on me to be able to complete their assignments and help them choose the next book to read, and they depend on me to give them the best strategies for media and digital literacy. The majority of my students live in high poverty neighborhoods, and they just aren't able to run out and buy that new popular book or that fancy new gadget.

My students have such potential, and they could do so much and give so much to the world. They just need support and backing to make it happen. They need their library.

My Project

Audiovisual cords and ceilings mounts might not seem terribly exciting at first glance, but I already received three donated LCD projectors that I can't install until I have the proper equipment!

All the boring background bits in the walls and ceiling are absolutely necessary for me to use these amazing gifts to build a more flexible and modern library space for my students.

They can do so much if they are just given the support that they need, and by creating a more flexible, creative library space for them, I can guide them to their full potential.
