Enhanced Sound Equipment for Rural Talent: Fine Arts Night

Help me give my students A Fine Arts Night to remember. They deserve to be properly recognized for their hard work.

Ms. Thomason Riverside Middle School

Williamston, NC Grades 6-8

My Project

Every year, our Visual Arts, Music, and Theater departments join forces for Fine Arts Night. It’s a community-wide celebration where the hallway becomes an art gallery, the stage comes alive with theatre pieces, and the air is filled with song.

Currently, we (the teachers) have been funding this event ourselves.

We want to move away from "making do" and move toward a sustainable, professional setup that we can use for years to come.

What We Need & Why:

Sound equipment: We are in dire need of sound equipment! Our music teacher has been loaning their personal equipment for the event.

The Impact: When a student hears their music, instruments, and voices in a more professional way, they will feel more confident about their performance and abilities.

This project will directly impact historically underfunded classrooms.
