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 Project

I'm getting ready to begin the year with 24 new learners, from a variety of backgrounds. Ensuring each of my students has the basic supplies they need sets them up for a productive and positive school year.

Basic supplies including crayons, markers, glue, and folders help set my students up for success in a wide array of learning activities.

The supplies requested will belong to each student, individually. They will learn how to take care of their things and have pride in their work, without the worry of if they have all they need.
