Funded Jan 28, 2025Thank you so much for your support in bringing these amazing materials to our classroom! Because of your generosity, my students now have access to engaging books and hands-on art supplies that are making a real impact on their learning.
The Black History Books and The Story of Black History Box Set have been incredible resources, sparking curiosity and important discussions about influential African American artists, athletes, politicians, and more. Students have been excited to explore these stories, connecting them to our lessons and their own lives. These books have truly brought Black history to life in our classroom.
In addition to reading, the Crayola paintbrushes and spill-proof paints have given students a creative way to express what they're learning. One of the highlights has been studying Jacob Lawrence and creating artwork inspired by his unique storytelling style. Students learned about the meaning behind his art—both in his time and today—gaining a deeper understanding of how art can tell powerful stories about history, struggle, and resilience.
Thanks to you, my students are not only learning but also creating, engaging, and deepening their understanding in ways that wouldn't have been possible without your kindness. Your generosity has made a lasting difference, and we are so grateful!”
With gratitude,
Ms. Joycelyn
