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

After 4 years teaching in West Philadelphia, I am excited to continue my teaching career as a 4th Grade English Language Arts teacher at Thomas K. Finletter Elementary in the Olney section of Philadelphia. I am super excited for the new challenges switching schools and content areas this year will bring. One of the major challenges is setting up a new classroom and making sure that my students start this year with all of the supplies we need. I appreciate your help in making sure my classroom is ready for my new students. They deserve the world!
