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

I am requesting a microwave and a toaster oven for our students and teachers to be able to heat and cook the food they bring for lunch. Often times, students bring leftovers to school and they end up not eating them or eating them cold. Having these tools would help make our lunch process so much easier and enjoyable for everyone who is able to use these devices. This would also help us on time daily waiting for everyone to eat.

Thank you for any donations to our classroom and helping keep us fed and ready for the school day.
