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

Hello. My name is Ms. Denise Carter. I teach 4th and 5th grade students. I have requested items, such as pencils and a pencil sharpener that would greatly help the classroom run smoothly and efficiently.

As our Vision statement says, "At ME, we are dedicated to preparing students to have the knowledge, skills, and abilities that will make them successful.

Our academic program is rigorous, and instruction is tailored to each child’s abilities. Our faculty and staff are committed to our students’ success. Our school environment is nurturing and engaging. Above all, we are distinguished by our commitment to excellence. Bulldogs B.A.R.K."

Ms. Carter
Grades 3-5
