My Project

I want literacy to be front and center in our classroom this year! The items I have curated for our classroom will create a comfortable and inviting space for our classroom library and reading nook as well as contribute to a dynamic and engaging learning environment.

My goal for this project is to create and reinforce a love of reading and literacy for all of my 7th grade students.

My students are special because they are mine. Each and every one of them has the capacity to learn and achieve and I want to motivate them to want to raise their academic performance levels.

Mr. Knight Dogwood Middle School Grades 6-8

Celebrate Black teachers and kids! This project supports a Black teacher or a school where the majority of students are Black.

Equity Focus

At this school, more than 50% of students are Black, Latino, and/or Native American, and more than 50% come from low-income households. Learn how your donation to this school supports a more equitable education.

This project will directly impact historically underfunded classrooms.
