Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

Celebrate Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

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

Welcome to the heart of our classroom - the teacher table! I'm excited to embark on a project that will greatly benefit my students' learning experience.

I am seeking your support to replace our flimsy stools with six sturdy chairs, creating a comfortable and conducive setting for small-group instruction.

The addition of chair pockets will not only upgrade our seating but also keep us organized by providing dedicated space to store students' tools and materials.

A comfortable and organized teacher table will help students stay engaged and focused, ensuring every student has essential resources within reach!
