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

As we gear up for the upcoming school year, we are sincerely reaching out to you with an appeal to join us in providing essential school supplies to children in need. For many families, the cost of school supplies can be significant burden, making it difficult for children to fully engage in their education. School supplies not only equip students for the classroom but also instill confidence and enthusiasm for learning.

Education is the key to unlocking endless possibilities, yet children in our community lack access to basic school supplies.

By donating school supplies notebooks, erasers, sticky notes, markers and gel pens, and other basic supplies you can make a direct and meaningful impact on the lives of these young minds in my classroom by giving them the tools they need every day to succeed academically.
