My Project

Over the years, I’ve found that exploring plays is an incredible way to bring out the best in my students—especially when it comes to building their literacy skills. Through performing plays, they develop stronger reading fluency, improve their comprehension, and expand their vocabulary, all while having fun and building confidence. Watching them dive into these stories and connect with the material has been inspiring, and that’s why I’ve created this new project.

By donating to our theatrical project, you’ll be directly supporting our students' literacy development.

Plays offer a unique opportunity for kids to actively engage with the text, helping them practice reading aloud, collaborate, and truly immerse themselves in the story. This kind of interactive reading experience makes learning more dynamic and memorable.

Thank you so much for your support!
