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 Students
I teach 73 wonderful, enthusiastic innovators! Some of my students are homeless, some live with extended families and others come from single-parent households. Regardless of their background or socioeconomic standing, they each hold a spot in my heart and though they have been challenged with various learning and social and personal adversities, they each have persevered and are striving to be the BEST they can be! My students are being challenged with academic rigor, learning to collaborate, communicate, show empathy, self-discipline, perseverance, and how to be creative!
My Project
For the last six months my scholars have been quarantined and learning virtually from home. Some have experienced loss, some have worried and others are even afraid because of COVID-19. As cases start to decrease and our school is preparing to bring back scholars for in person instruction, my top priority is their safety. As we know there have been budget cuts and a scarcity of cleaning supplies over America. Thus, I’d like to provide my scholars a sense of security by having disinfectant wipes and hand sanitizer for their disposal.
Nearly all students from low‑income households
