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

Please help me give my students materials that will build up their self confidence, increase their knowledge about black history, and inspire them to accomplish their dreams! I am requesting an affirmation library where students can read stories they can relate to!

I teach an amazing group of boys who are strong, creative, resilient, and imaginative!

They love reading, learning, and are very artistic. The books and art supplies I am requesting will provide endless learning opportunities! Thank you for your support of this project! We cannot wait to read the stories ALL year long!

Mrs. Napper will only receive her materials if this project is fully funded by June 28.
