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

In a busy high school classroom, it is easy to run out of supplies very quickly. These supplies can often run out at different times, causing us to need a random assortment of items.

My classroom is currently completely out of lamination pouches for important notes.

We also need to replenish the first aid kit for emergencies and accidents.

My students also love to receive stamps or fun stickers on their papers when they have completed their work or have done a good job. The glittery pens will be a bright spot in my students' day if they get to take their notes in a fun color.

Grades 9-12
