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 with the entire student body and see varying degrees of emotional, physical, and academic achievements. Each student is unique, beautiful, and bold in their own way. I am very blessed to learn from them each and every day. We host military students whose parents are working for local military bases.
My students are creative in ways that are soul-defying and extraordinary, especially when considering some of their poverty level realities.
Every day, I see the magnificent progress that can't be measured by a standardized test or determined by a letter grade.
My Project
Hygiene problems come with some of the homelessness problems and self care abilities of our students. Having water and electricity isn't something all students have. Some of the student's parents use the laundromats but having money for the taxi and laundry is problematic. Students want to come to school with clean clothing. Bullying can often be an underlying result. I am asking for detergent to assist families with proper cleaning of clothing for my students. Struggling families must choose between many things, let's not make hygiene one of them. Please donate and give students a "clean" start to the new year.
