My Project

Being in middle school can be stressful, and for my fasting students, it can be even more so. I want to create a space where my fasting students can come during their lunch time and not focus on the smell of food in the school cafeteria but instead be distracted by Legos.

Every student needs a moment to decompress from time to time.

Legos are a great way to make that happen. These students have chosen what they would be interested in working on during their lunch period to maintain their fasting.

Ms. R Cicely L Tyson Community School of Performing and Fine Arts 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.
