Attire for Our Black History Performance

Help me give my students the attire they need for our school-wide Black History Month performance.

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Apollon's classroom raised $257

My Project

At my school, we take pride in representing every student's roots and culture. The student body of my school is very diverse and we are ready to represent our Black History Month well. This year, I am the chair for our Black History Program which will take place at the end of February and our students have stated that they want to represent their cultures/country well. We have started our practices and our students are eager to sing and dance to music authentic to their country.

I have created this project to help alleviate the costs of the attire for my student performers.

I can only imagine how impactful the program will be when their classmates, parents, and families see them dancing and singing songs that are all about their roots. Help me represent Black History Month well at my school.
