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
With our community still getting hit by COVID, sanitizing it important to our daily routine. I am asking for kleenex to keep the sneezes and cough covered. I am also asking for wipes to help keep all of us safe and sanitized.
The books are to improve our very under supplied classroom library. My students enjoy reading during our free time and having books that representative them is very important to me as their teacher. Reading stories that they see themselves in are always more interesting to students. They can see themselves and relationship more to the characters.
This classroom project was brought to life by A Friend in Houston
and one other donor.
