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
We are at the halfway point of the school year. Our school day starts at 8:00 a.m. and ends at 4:15 p.m. I know, a very long school day! 6th grade scholars are growing and they become extremely hungry throughout the day. Having snacks on hand has helped us navigate the day without hearing rumbling stomachs.
On a daily basis, I hear "I need a pencil".
That is the number 1 school supply that scholars ask for the most. With Black History month quickly approaching, I want to introduce scholars to other important Black people that they have not heard of.
Nearly all students from low‑income households
Data about students' economic need comes from the National Center for Education Statistics, via our partners at MDR Education. Learn more
