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

I am so excited and grateful that Donors Choose exists and is a potential option for me! As a school psych, I have the opportunity to work with students in a variety of ways and have a responsibility to do so creatively and engagingly. But as a school psych in a transformation zone school, with high poverty and low resources, I feel as if it’s an even heavier responsibility.

The items I have chosen are those that will help my students learn about social skills in small groups, learn about their emotions and feelings and how to regulate them as well as obtaining sensory experiences and input.

I want to be able to add and contribute to our school’s new “scholar wellness room” that I and other fellow student services teams will be using with scholars.

The snacks and toys are prizes and incentivizes to help with scholar buy-in, rapport building, and to reward accomplishments and lessons learned. The Cricut supplies are to create and craft items (especially shirts) for scholars and staff to build camaraderie and incorporate into school wide activities as well as with individual scholars and small groups.

To be chosen would be an absolute dream and such an honor. My scholars, school, team, and myself would be immensely grateful and put everything to good use!
