My Project

The copy paper, banners & craft supplies will be used to complete projects with my students both in class & as take home projects. This will give me an opportunity to expose them to people that they may have never heard of or they may already know about but don't really know why they're famous.

We're living in a time where teaching history is more important than ever to make sure that we don't repeat it.

I want to do various projects with my students to make sure that they know how hard people, especially Black & Brown people, have fought for the rights that they get to enjoy today.

My students want to make the world a better place & I want them to know about people that came before that had the same goal.
