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 Students
We are a Title I school that offers free breakfast and lunch to all children. Our second-grade scholars live in a high poverty neighborhood. Our community is located in an inner-city area. About 85% of our students identify as African American, 5% Latino, 2% White, 1% Asian, and 9% multi-racial.
Labels and test scores do an injustice to our scholars and teachers.
My scholars and I refuse to accept failure. If you could see our children, you would understand that they are full of potential and that they are future leaders and innovators. Our students are perseverant, motivated, enthusiastic, and driven to succeed. We will bridge the poverty gap, and they will achieve!
My Project
The winter weather is fast approaching! Thankfully, most of us are prepared with the proper winter attire.
Unfortunately, some of our families struggle with providing the essentials, and this may include winter weather gear.
With your help, we can ensure that our scholars have needed hats, gloves, and scarves to keep them warm during the bitter cold that is fast approaching! I am also asking for thick socks to help keep the children's feet warm. It is not unusual for some children to have short socks that don't cover their ankles, thin socks, or sometimes no socks at all. I believe that these socks will aid in helping to keep our children warm, healthy, and in school.
Nearly all students from low‑income households
