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
My students I work in a county that services low-income students. My students come from families/neighborhoods that may not be able to provide a positive environment and for that reason, they have challenges in and out of school. Due to the location of my school, 100 percent of the students receive free breakfast and lunch.
My students come from economic challenging home environments but they still have the zeal for learning.
While at school, we focus on educating the "whole child". They're placed in various settings that they typically may not have been in before. My school tries very hard to create a positive environment and try to get the community stakeholders involved as well.
My Project
My students have big dreams that require them to have the basic necessities in order for them to be successful.
I would use the uniforms, coats, socks, and undergarments to ensure when students arrive to school they are properly dressed and ready for instruction.
I believe that by doing this, the stage for learning is set. Students will be able to focus on school and not the clothing they may have on. If this project gets funded it would help my students focus on learning and not what kind of clothes they have on or being teased by their peers for not looking clean.
