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 Students

My students come from a variety of different economic backgrounds with over ninety-five percent of our students receiving free or reduced-price lunch. Students speak a multitude of languages including English Hmong, Urdu, Bengali, Thai, Mai Mai, Somali, French, Arabic, and many more.

As diverse as our students are economically and culturally, they are diverse in their academics.

Most of my students are performing below grade level and some are significantly below grade level. Many students lack strong parental support in their academics and many do not see education as an important part of their lives.

Being an inner-city school in Milwaukee, WI, my students do not always get the same opportunities and resources that other schools have; I would like to even the playing field, just a little bit if I can.

Budgets are tight and inner-city schools are literally on the chopping block for budgets. With that said, our school doesn't allow for any classroom budgets and I personally cannot afford to continually pay for items out of my pocket.

My Project

Many of our students' families continue to struggle to provide for their children. Students wear hand-me-down clothes and inferior quality clothes from flea markets or bargain stores.

This project will provide a warm pair of socks for each of our 8th grade students.

Many kids don't know what it's like to get a brand new, extra warm pair of socks for themselves.

This project will protect our students feet in the cold weather while they are waiting for their school buses to pick them up. The socks will keep their feet warm since many of them do not have boots for the winter weather.
