History Hanging by a Thread: Help Preserve Our Colonial Costumes!
Help me give my students a cabinet to keep our historical costumes organized, accessible, and performance-ready—because every student deserves a chance to step into the past and shine!

My Project
Each year, I bring history to life for my students through hands-on learning—including a full set of 50 colonial costumes used for interactive lessons and performances. As a music and technology teacher with a passion for creative, immersive education, I believe these moments spark lifelong curiosity and help students connect more deeply with the past. Right now, our costumes are boxed and crammed in corners—hard to access and difficult to maintain. A sturdy, hanging closet would preserve these valuable resources, keep them in better condition, and make setup and cleanup so much smoother for years to come!
Nearly all students from low‑income households
