Costume Design

Help me give my students the opportunity to learn how to design and sew costumes for our theater productions!

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Neall's classroom raised $536

My Project

Many of my middle school Drama students are interested in learning how to design and create costumes for our productions. We have had students in the past bring their own equipment to sew costumes for the show, but it is a lot of work moving the heavy equipment back and forth from home to school. Having our own Drama Department sewing machine and supplies would help us be more efficient. Students would learn basic life skills that will help them in the future, in addition to making some fabulous costumes for our show!
