My Project

This is a very exciting time at our school! Our biggest event is in May and this year the Musical Theatre class is doing The Little Mermaid. I also have a class called "Creative Exploration". The supplies I'm requesting will enable that class to explore their own interests as well as make props and set pieces for our show.

Art supplies are constantly running out.

These students work very hard to design and make the required props and set pieces and when we run out of what they need, it is easy for them to get discouraged. When we get the necessary items we need for them to continue, seeing their faces light up is truly a joy for all.
