My Project

As we continue to work through the effects of the COVID pandemic, we are planning our return to theater events this spring! Among the unmet needs of the department is a drill, one of the most essential tools required for building sets on stage!

FMS is committed to celebrating the performing arts and ensures as many students as possible are granted as many opportunities to be a part of the on stage experience which some students have called "magical!"

With our spring show coming up in April we are hopeful that in asking for help we can secure critically needed equipment to replace old and non-working tools from years past to begin our first stage build post COVID!

This project will directly impact historically underfunded classrooms.
