Bring Our Characters to Life with Wonka Costumes for All!

Help me give my students great costumes for our spring performance of Willy Wonka!

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. McKinney's classroom raised $421

This project is fully funded

My Project

Thank you for taking your time to help our drama club. The costumes we are asking for will be used in our spring musical production! Our sixth grade drama club students will be performing Willy Wonka, Jr. This specific project is for costumes for many of our cast members. Our students are so excited about the show, and I would love for them to be able to wear great costumes! Our self-funded drama club doesn't have enough money for all of our students, so your help is greatly appreciated. Thank you for your donation!
