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

The resources I am requesting will significantly enhance our learning environment. Daily snacks such as chips, cookies, crackers, and water are essential for maintaining my students' energy levels and focus throughout the day. By addressing their basic nutritional needs, these snacks will ensure that hunger does not hinder their ability to participate actively in lessons and absorb new knowledge. This support will create a more conducive atmosphere for learning, where students can thrive both academically and socially.

In addition to nutritious snacks, a cotton candy machine and a Keurig machine for hot cocoa will serve as motivational tools and rewards.

After completing challenging assessments or achieving academic milestones, the cotton candy machine will provide a fun and celebratory treat that reinforces their hard work and success. Meanwhile, the warmth of hot cocoa during the winter months will not only comfort and rejuvenate them but also foster a sense of community and wellbeing within our classroom. These resources will not only nourish their bodies but also uplift their spirits, making learning a more enjoyable and rewarding experience for all. By supporting these requests, donors will not only be providing essential resources but also contributing to the holistic development of my students. Your generosity will empower them to excel academically while fostering a positive and supportive learning environment where they can grow, explore, and thrive.
