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

My main goal is to help every one of my pupils meet the standards for academic success that have been established. This means making certain that they have the bare minimum of necessities. My students work really hard, and I like spending every day teaching them. My kids must make sure they are getting lots of water in order to stay focused and prepared to learn. We are frequently under boil water notices and sometimes without water completely. As we approach the spring in Mississippi our temperatures rise quickly. It can become rather warm in our classrooms. This can make it difficult for my students to focus. Maintaining fluid intake is crucial to our bodies and has a direct impact on academic success.

My students need water to stay hydrated and learn during hot school days.

They will stay cool and avoid overheating during the school day. Water will assist my students stay focused and ready to study.
