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

Children have the best hearts! They are genuine and loving and always looking for ways to help. I want to empower my students and let them know that they CAN make a difference in their community and even out in the world.

Our Kindness Club helps students complete projects around their school and community that allows them to make a difference even as a 7 year old.

We will be creating "Blessing Bags, with hygiene needs such a soap, toothbrushes, hand sanitizer, and socks for the homeless" Mystery Eggs with notes of affirmation for school staff, post cards, notes, Kindness Rocks using river rock and paints and many more projects that will touch the hearts of those around us. I want to help build empathy in the hearts of my students along with building their brains.
