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

Our school is wraped around two beautiful courtyards that our scholars see daily with envy. We are in dire need of games and material to facilitate outdoor activities that will help our scholars make full use of the courtyards. The activities help relieve stress anxiety and help them get back to learning at full capacity.

Social emotional learning and mental health is a crucial portion of the education that we owe our scholars.

By adding the physical release of a recess activity built into the lesson, we've hit gold.

With your generous help, we will be able to help our scholars be socially and emotionally ready to thrive.
