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

My students are exceptional! They are very energetic and eager to learn. At times, they do not have the necessary materials to be successful in class. Due to the impoverished area, most parents cannot afford supplies. Please help me give my students pencils, notebooks, dry erase markers, pens, highlighters, sticky notes, and other supplies needed for class. I want to ensure I give them the educational experience without worrying about materials for class.

"Education is the passport to the future, for tomorrow belong to those who prepare for it today."-Malcolm X
