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

As I embark on my first year teaching at a STEM academy, I am committed to creating a classroom environment that fosters both academic excellence and emotional well-being. I believe that providing a calming and safe space is crucial for my students' success and overall happiness.

In our fast-paced, high-tech world, it’s essential to balance rigorous STEM education with a nurturing atmosphere that supports students' social-emotional development.

By transforming our classroom into a cozy and comfortable haven, I aim to create a sanctuary where students feel safe, valued, and ready to learn.

Your generous donations will help us acquire items such as comfortable seating, calming decor, sensory tools, and other resources that contribute to a serene and supportive environment. These elements are vital in reducing stress, enhancing focus, and promoting a positive mindset, allowing our future female leaders to thrive academically and emotionally.

With your support, we can build a classroom that not only meets educational needs, but, also nurtures the heart and spirit of every student. Thank you for helping us create a space where learning and emotional well-being go hand in hand.
