Dance Team Needs Supplies

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Pipes's classroom raised $692

This project is fully funded

My Students

My dance classes are my favorite classes to teach because my students are motivated and they really seek to push themselves to the limit. They are a talented bunch of creative young people who inspire me every day.

They have an incredible ability to soak up choreography like a sponge and their group dynamic is very caring and compassionate.

My students are eager learners who are diverse culturally and socioeconomically.

Our school is a college preparatory high school in Southern California with a rigorous curriculum that is highly demanding. Students are expected to rise to the occasion academically despite social and financial obstacles that they may face. Our school is designated as a low socioeconomic status and we are deemed a Title One school.

My Project

We have several supplies in this proposal that will help our dance team run smoothly through the summer and into the new school year.

The Cricut Maker will allow me to keep our team organized.

Each team member must keep their supplies, costumes, and accessories very organized. They are expected to bring their specific items to each performance. Using the Cricut Maker, I will create labels for each team member to have their own cubby in the dressing room inside of our dance room. This will keep students organized and prepared for their performances.

Additionally, we have many parents and community members to thank for their continued support of our program. We will use the ribbon to attach our gifts to the thank you gift tags we have. it is important for us to show our gratitude for all of the people who have helped support our dance team.

Lastly, we will use the scrunchies with our dance team uniforms and for rehearsals throughout the year. Students are required to have their hair back for both rehearsals and performances so these will definitely get used!

Thank you for considering a donation to this project!
