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

My students love to have art that is wearable and "permanent!" My students have never had the opportunity to tie-dye, cut and create with vinyl, or design their own field trip and school spirit shirts! This project will give my students access to the tools, tech and materials to create awesome designs that they can wear along with their peers to show school spirit, engage in active learning, and collaborate with their peers!

My students speak both English and Spanish and come from low socio-economic communities and artistic expression is an excellent way to create positive classroom culture and student engagement!

The vinyl, t-shirts, Cameo cutting machine along with the markers and crayons will allow students to plan, design and implement their ideas in creative and meaningful ways.

Students will wear their shirts for field trips, assemblies, field day and other grade level activities! Funding this project will allow my students to fully and actively engage in creating classroom culture that is a mural of their choices and creativity!
