Black History for All!
Funded Apr 9, 2025Thank you so much for your incredible generosity in helping fund our Black History books and classroom supplies through DonorsChoose! Your support has brought meaningful, culturally rich resources into our classroom that will educate, inspire, and empower my students for years to come.
The books you helped provide offer powerful stories and voices that reflect the rich history, struggles, achievements, and contributions of Black individuals—many of whom my students can see themselves in. These books are already sparking important conversations, deeper understanding, and a stronger sense of pride and identity.
The additional supplies have made it easier for us to fully engage with these texts—through group discussions, creative projects, and reflective writing activities. Your support goes far beyond materials; you've given my students the opportunity to feel seen, heard, and valued.
Most importantly, thank you for investing in our education and our future. Your generosity reminds my students that there are people who believe in them, root for them, and want to see them succeed.
From the bottom of our hearts, thank you for believing in our classroom and helping us celebrate history, culture, and the power of learning.”
