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

The water in Jackson, Mississippi schools is still not safe to drink.

I would like to provide my students with more water bottles to keep in our classroom refrigerator to make sure they stay hydrated at school and at home.

The Crystal Light packets will serve to make my students more interested in drinking water and staying healthy. The variety of miniature Hershey's chocolate bars will be used as a small encouragement for my hardworking students.

I hope to make sure my students have everything they need in order to complete all of their work and be successful each day.
