My Project

Lights, Music… Action!

Our talented students are bringing Broadway to our school with their very own production of "The Wiz"!

This isn’t just a show—it’s a movement. It’s the first year of our brand-new Drama Club, and we’re building something incredible from the ground up.

In many schools, sports get the spotlight—but what about the students who shine through music, acting, dancing, and design? This production is their moment. It's a chance for students who dream in color, rhythm, and creativity to step into their power and onto the stage.

Your support will directly impact these young artists, helping us provide costumes, props, microphones, and essential set design materials—especially for our lead performers and backstage crew. More than just a play, this is an opportunity to uncover hidden talents, build confidence, and ignite a lifelong passion for the arts in students who may never have had the chance otherwise.

Help us raise the curtain. Donate today and be a part of something magical!
