Drama is Life. Rebooting our Classroom Community

Help me give my students adaptive and accessible tools to support their learning!

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Wesley's classroom raised $1,074

This project is fully funded

My Project

After years of crisis counseling & social work, I chose to return to the classroom. I passionately believe that healing & purpose can be accessed through The Arts. Using SEL & strengths-focused acquisition of community & school assets, I am single-handedly rebuilding a Title I school’s theatre arts program.

There is so much potential for students’ artistic greatness here, and I need community help providing quality resources & materials for my students, particularly my Au/ADD kiddos.

Please consider helping fund flex seating, art supplies, & adaptive teaching tools today! Thank you.
