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

Our students thrive in a school where creativity is encouraged, and their environment reflects the vibrant energy of their learning. To help them take ownership of their surroundings and develop their creative skills, I am requesting a Cricut Maker 3, along with accessories such as cardstock and essential Cricut tools.

With this versatile cutting machine, our students will be able to design and craft custom letters, decorations, and displays for the classroom and school bulletin boards.

By beautifying our learning environment, they will feel a greater sense of pride and connection to their space, which in turn will enhance their engagement and motivation.

This project will also foster valuable hands-on learning experiences, allowing students to bring their ideas to life through personalized projects. Whether it’s creating labels, banners, or art pieces, the Cricut Maker 3 will empower students to showcase their creativity while developing skills in design and craftsmanship.

Your donation will help transform our school into a dynamic, visually engaging space where students’ creativity can flourish. With the Cricut Maker 3 and the necessary tools, we can create a beautiful, welcoming environment that inspires students to do their best work every day.
