Dance Wants To Have Fun

Help me give my students a computer that allows them to save all of their music needs as well as cut their own music in our dance class for our performances and in class assignments.

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Richard's classroom raised $2,110

My Project

My girls in dance look forward to creating things themselves. Their chromebooks don’t allow them to create and save their own music. This laptop will do just that! The MacBook will be used in class so that they can use music cutting programs in order to complete assignments and even create things for big performances. My girls are special in a sense that when they perform we try to accomplish 100% student creation. This gives them a confidence that allows them to feel accomplished when submitting work out into the public.
