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 Students

I teach visual art to the most amazing elementary-aged students. Due to COVID and budget cuts, we lost most of our arts programs this year, including our Shakespeare program in which our fifth graders participate. Last year, when schools closed, our students rose to the challenge of learning about, creating, and acting scenes from a Shakespeare play virtually. It gave them the opportunity to express themselves during a difficult time. I would love to give our new fifth graders the same opportunity this year. Watching them use their imaginations, and discover their creativity is why I teach!

My Project

For over 10 years, P.S. 235's fifth graders have participated in this incredible residency with Theatre for a New Audience in Brooklyn, NY. Last school year when schools went fully remote in NYC, our TFANA teaching artist continued to bring the program to our students at home. Our amazing fifth graders rose to the occasion and danced, acted, created costumes and stage sets, and even brought in family members to act in their scenes.

Due to Covid-related budget cuts, we have lost almost all of our arts funding for this year.

We are hoping to fund this for each of our five fifth grade classes through generous donations from Donors Choose. This request is for one of those five classes. As the visual art teacher and arts coordinator in my school, I have had the pleasure of watching our students impress and move audiences for over a decade and hope to keep the program alive!
