My Project

Hello! I am an AP World History teacher to 170 students. This project will help engage our classroom and bring diversity to the walls. The history posters will allow students to feel represented in the classroom. Students should always feel welcomed and seen. The snacks help engage students in participation and give them an energy boost after a long school day.

The school supplies will provide students with the classroom materials they need to succeed.

Students always need a pencil and sharpener! With your help, students who come from low-income families will benefit greatly from free school supplies. Students will benefit for years to come with access to classroom materials.

Ms. Ahmed Curtis High School Grades 9-12

Celebrate Black teachers and kids! This project supports a Black teacher or a school where the majority of students are Black.

Equity Focus

At this school, more than 50% of students are Black, Latino, and/or Native American, and more than 50% come from low-income households. Learn how your donation to this school supports a more equitable education.

This project will directly impact historically underfunded classrooms.
