Help Give Deserving Students Dance Essentials for the Dance Team

Help me give my students dance essentials so they can actively participate on the dance team at school without placing financial burden on their families who may not be able to currently afford it.

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Swain's classroom raised $1,281

This project is fully funded

My Project

Many of the girls on the girls on the team have may lack proper dance attire, including leggings, tops, and appropriate shoes necessary for different dance styles. Additionally, accessories like hair ties and warm-up gear are crucial for their performance and comfort. We also need a new speaker so we are able to perform at outside events without needing to plug in speakers or worry about our music not being able to be heard.

Providing these essentials will not only boost their confidence but also enable them to fully engage in practices and is also important to ensure all girls can partake in the team without hindrance.

Overall, your initiative to gather these resources will greatly enhance their experience and foster a sense of inclusion and team spirit.
