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

Upon receiving our new classroom bookshelf, we'll have a secure space to store our students' books. This upgrade will particularly benefit my special education students, who will greatly appreciate having their math and language arts books conveniently located next to their tables on the new bookshelf.

Unfortunately, our current bookshelf has deteriorated beyond repair, and our school lacks the necessary funds for a replacement at this time.

The prospect of acquiring a new storage solution holds significant importance for both myself and my exceptional special education students. It would greatly enhance our daily school experience by providing a dedicated space to organize the materials essential to our learning journey.

A new bookshelf would not only be a practical addition to our classroom but also a symbol of support and recognition for the needs of our class. Your assistance in securing this resource would be immensely valued and appreciated.
