Help me give my students the opportunity to create props, costumes, and model sets in Design & StageCraft

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. West-Herzog's classroom raised $599

This project is fully funded

Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

Celebrate Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.

My Project

In collaboration with Ms. Johnson, our amazing students will create props, costume pieces, model sets and SO much more! One prop our students will get to create are fake cupcakes, painted to looks like delicious real ones. Creating fake cupcakes is just one of may examples and experiences our students will have.

Because "Design for the Stage" and "StageCraft" are a non-traditional classes, we need nontraditional supplies.

Please consider helping us foster the next generation of Tony Award winning costume and set designers.

And finally, PLEASE forward this campaign to anyone who can donate a few dollars to support our amazing students doing creative and artistic work.
