Building the Set!

Help me give my students the tools to complete set pieces for performances

FULLY FUNDED! Mr. Hoagland's classroom raised $358

This project is fully funded

My Project

My stage crew is in need of hardware to build stage sets. We are trying to build up our music and acting programs. To showcase these programs we need to build sets that go with the theme of the performances. I have been going to estate sales and buying random hardware. This has been hard to build with due to the various quantities and sizes of the screws and nails that I find, not to mention the different heads of the screws. Also, 90% of my students come from disadvantaged homes. Most of my students have not been around anyone that can teach them how to use power tools, or follow a plan and build something.
