Art & Music for Autistic Students

Help me give my students aprons, hats, glasses, paint, and animal headbands for the autism program students at my school to use during their music performance.

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Mercer's classroom raised $181

My Project

The SCORE students at our school are all on the autism spectrum. They are working hard to prepare four songs for a music performance in April. They will also be adding art and wearable props during the music performance. These materials will help enrich their performance and make it more meaningful for the students.

Our goal is to give a successful music performance for their grown ups while also showcasing their art on the aprons they will create.

The SCORE students work hard every day to learn and grow. They deserve the opportunity to be showcased and to give a music performance just like neurotypical peers. These students amaze me and I can't wait to see what they can do. Thank you for your support!
