Aladdin and Jafar

Help me give my students costumes for their spring production of the musical 'Aladdin.'

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Patton's classroom raised $199

This project is fully funded

My Project

Our students are hard at work preparing for a spring musical production of 'Aladdin.'

We are putting on this show on a shoestring budget and could use some help to obtain the costumes we need.

This show means so much to our student cast and their families. Please help me provide our school with high-quality costumes that will bring the production to life. For last year's 'Lion King,' we were able to borrow many items from another school. This year, we are on our own. I really don't want our students to be disappointed: without costumes and props, the musical won't be as good as last year's show. Thanks for helping out with our spring production of 'Aladdin.'
