Can You Feel the Love Tonight?

Help me give my students mini flashlights, microphone stands, ribbon dancers and fabric for our spring musical.

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Patton's classroom raised $241

This project is fully funded

My Project

We are excited to be putting on the musical "The Lion King Kids" in May, and could use some help obtaining some final touches which will enhance the production.

These flashlights and ribbon dancers will be used for special stage effects during 'Can You Feel the Love Tonight.'

The bolt of fabric will be used as a river, symbolizing the distance between Mufasa and Simba on the stage. We are located in a high poverty area of the city, and many students need opportunities like this to express themselves in positive ways. This musical means so much to the students, school community, and most importantly, our school families. Thanks for supporting our musical.
